Does Howard University require the SAT?

Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to Howard University and I'm wondering if they still require SAT scores for admissions. Thanks!

Hey! Howard University has indeed implemented a test-optional policy for undergraduate admissions, which was originally in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, but has been extended. This policy means that you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT scores when applying.

If you feel your scores accurately represent your abilities and add to your application, you can submit them. However, if you think your scores may not reflect your strengths, you can apply without submitting them.

Do keep in mind that there can be specific instances where it makes sense to submit an SAT (or ACT) score to Howard, even though doing so is not required. If you want detailed guidance on how to navigate test-optional policies, check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/does-test-optional-mean-test-optional

Good luck with your application to Howard!
