Hi, I'm thinking of applying to Portland State University, but I'm kind of confused about their SAT requirements for admission. Can anyone clarify if they require a submission of SAT scores or if they have become test-optional? Thank you!
Portland State University (PSU) has adopted a test-optional policy for undergraduate admission. As a result, submitting your SAT scores is not required. You have the option to include your test scores as part of your application if you believe they accurately reflect your academic abilities.
If you choose not to submit your SAT scores, your application will still be considered, and PSU will place greater emphasis on other factors, such as your high school transcript, GPA, and personal statement. Ultimately, the choice to submit your SAT scores is up to you, and PSU's test-optional policy allows flexibility in deciding whether or not SAT scores would be beneficial in your application. Good luck with your application process!
