Hey there! I was just wondering if anybody knows if UVA is continuing their test-optional policy for this coming applications cycle? With all the pandemic-related changes, I've been unsure about how test scores will be factored in for us next year. Thanks!
Hello! UVA is indeed still test-optional, through at least the 2024-2025 applications cycle. However, test-optional policies aren't always as straightforward as they may seem, so I'd recommend checking out CollegeVine's blog to get a more comprehensive overview of how to navigate them: https://blog.collegevine.com/does-test-optional-mean-test-optional/. Additionally, keep an eye out for any official announcements regarding UVA's admissions policies, as there can sometimes be unexpected changes.
Good luck with your college application process!
