I was looking into applying to Texas Tech University, and I wanted to ask if they're test-optional for this upcoming admissions cycle. I'm a little stressed about my standardized test scores, so any help would be great. Thanks!
Yes, Texas Tech University is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you do not have to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of your application if you don't feel that they accurately represent your academic abilities. If you choose not to submit your test scores, your application will still be reviewed holistically, focusing on other aspects such as your grades, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays.
If you do decide to submit your test scores later, you can still do so, and they will be considered as part of your application. Just keep in mind the application deadlines to ensure your scores are submitted on time. Good luck with your application to Texas Tech!
