Hey everyone, does the University of Miami (UMiami) currently require the SAT or are they test-optional? I'm trying to plan out my testing strategy and want to make sure I know the requirements for each school I'm applying to. Thanks for your help!
Hello! As of now, the University of Miami (UMiami) has adopted a test-optional policy for first-year applicants through Fall 2025. This means you have the option to submit your SAT scores if you believe they accurately reflect your academic abilities, but you're not required to do so. UMiami will still consider your application holistically, reviewing your grades, rigor of coursework, extracurricular involvement, and other factors even without test scores. However, if you think your SAT scores are strong and would enhance your application, feel free to submit them. Good luck with your college planning and applications process!
