Does Indiana State University consider SAT and ACT scores?

For Indiana State University, do they still use SAT or ACT scores for admissions? I'm preparing college applications and want to know if I should prioritize submitting my scores there.

Yes, Indiana State University does consider SAT and ACT scores as part of their admissions process. They are not, however, a requirement in your application — this makes the school "test-optional." If you feel your test scores accurately represent your academic abilities and might strengthen your application, then you should certainly prioritize submitting them.

They use these scores alongside other factors, such as your cumulative grade point average, performance in academically challenging coursework, and extracurricular involvement when reviewing your application. So while your SAT or ACT score can be an important part of your application, be sure to focus equally on maintaining strong grades, showcasing your unique traits through your essays, and detailing your involvement in extracurricular activities.

Remember that different schools weigh test scores differently, so your strategy might differ based on the specific schools you're applying to. Be sure to research each school individually to understand their admissions requirements and preferences.
