I'm applying to HPU and I'm a little confused about their testing requirements. Do they require the SAT, or is it optional? If anyone has recently applied and has information about this, that would be super helpful. Thanks!
Hawaii Pacific University (HPU) has a test-optional policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle, which means that submitting SAT or ACT scores is not required for admission. You can choose whether or not to include your test scores as part of your application. If you believe your scores accurately reflect your academic ability and would strengthen your application, you can submit them. However, if you feel that your test scores do not accurately showcase your potential, you can apply without submitting them, and your application will still receive full consideration based on the other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays. Good luck with your application!
