Hey guys, with so many colleges going test optional lately, I was wondering if Arizona State University (ASU) has adopted a test optional policy for admissions too? Would appreciate any info on this!
Yes, Arizona State University (ASU) has adopted a test-optional policy for undergraduate admissions. This means that you are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of your application, and the admissions committee will instead focus on other aspects of your application, such as your high school GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and essays. If you feel that your test scores do not accurately represent your academic abilities or potential, you can choose not to submit them. However, if you believe your test scores are a strength in your application and can provide additional context for your academic achievements, you may still submit them. Keep in mind that certain programs or scholarships at ASU may still require test scores, so it's a good idea to check the specific requirements for the programs you're interested in before making a decision.
