Does anyone know if CU Boulder has chosen to be test-optional for the upcoming admissions cycle? I'm still deciding whether or not to take the SAT/ACT, and knowing if test scores are required would really help me plan!
Yes, CU Boulder is test-optional for the upcoming admissions cycle. You can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores as part of your application. If you feel that your scores would strengthen your application, go ahead and submit them. However, if you think they might not accurately represent your abilities or you simply do not have the opportunity to take the tests, you can apply without them, and the rest of your application (including your grades, extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation) will be evaluated more closely. It's important to consider the other aspects of your application when making this decision and focus on showcasing your strengths and potential in those areas. Good luck!
