Hello! I'm a junior working on my college list, and I've been looking into Michigan State University. I was wondering if MSU is currently test-optional or if they require standardized test scores like the SAT/ACT. Thanks in advance!
Hello! As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Michigan State University (MSU) is indeed test-optional. This means that submitting SAT or ACT scores is not required for your application. MSU will evaluate your application based on other factors, such as your academic record, extracurricular involvement, and essays.
That being said, you can still choose to submit your test scores if you feel they will enhance your application and showcase your academic abilities. If you decide not to submit test scores, your chances of admission won't be negatively affected. Instead, the admissions committee will place greater emphasis on the other components of your application.
Make sure to check MSU's official admissions website for the most up-to-date information on their test-optional policy, as it may change in future application cycles. Good luck with your college search and application process!
