Is OSU Test-Optional?

Hi there! I'm starting to look into colleges and I'm wondering if Oregon State University (OSU) is test-optional for admissions. Can someone provide some information on this? Thanks so much!

Yes, Oregon State University (OSU) is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you have the option to submit your SAT or ACT scores, but your application will not be disadvantaged if you choose not to submit them. The admissions office will focus primarily on other aspects of your application, such as your grades, curriculum rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and other achievements.

If you believe your test scores accurately represent your academic abilities and would strengthen your application, you can go ahead and submit them. However, if you feel your scores may not fully reflect your academic potential or you're unable to take the SAT or ACT, you can still apply to OSU without any negative impact on your application.

Keep in mind that different colleges have different test-optional policies, so be sure to research each institution's requirements as you continue exploring potential schools. Good luck with your college search!
