Does the University of Michigan have a test-optional policy for admissions? Can I apply without submitting my SAT or ACT scores?
Yes, the University of Michigan has a test-optional policy for the 2023-2024 application cycles. This means that you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores as part of your application. If you believe that your test scores do not accurately represent your academic ability or potential, you may apply without submitting them. Keep in mind that your application will still be reviewed holistically, with emphasis placed on other factors such as your high school transcript, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. However, if you feel that your test scores are strong and will enhance your application, you can still choose to submit them.
