Hey everyone, I'm looking for some info on Texas State's ACT requirements. Is there a certain score I'd need to meet? Are they test-flexible or test-optional?
Hello! For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Texas State University is test-optional. This means that when applying as a freshman, you can choose not to submit your ACT scores, and your application will still be reviewed comprehensively. Your GPA, class rank, transcript, personal essay, and other factors will be used to assess your application instead.
However, if you already have ACT scores that you feel reflect your abilities well, there's no harm in submitting them. Remember, if your academic credentials fall within or above the middle 50% range of admitted freshmen, your likelihood of admission may increase.
But most importantly, never consider your standardized test scores without context. Remember it's your overall application, including academic rigor, extracurricular activities, and personal qualities that will determine your admission decision.
I hope that answers your question and best of luck in your application process!
