Hey there! I've been looking into the University of the Pacific, and I'm curious if they require the SAT for admission. I know some schools have been changing their testing policies, so I figured I'd ask here.
Hey! For the University of the Pacific (UOP), they are indeed test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that submitting your SAT scores is not required for admission. You can choose whether or not to include your test scores as part of your application. If you feel that your SAT scores accurately reflect your academic potential and would strengthen your application, you may submit them. If not, you can still apply without the scores, and the university will focus on other components of your application, such as your high school GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and the personal essay. For reference, their middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students is 1170-1410. Good luck with your application process!
