SAT Scores are required

SAT scores are mandatory for admission. These universities require you to submit your Digital SAT results as part of your application, often alongside your GPA, personal statement, and recommendation letters. Some institutions may set minimum score thresholds, especially for competitive programs. For example, U.S. public universities like the University of Florida or Georgia Tech typically require SAT scores for all applicants.

SAT Scores are optional

SAT scores are not required, but submitting them may improve your chances—especially if your scores are strong. These universities evaluate applicants holistically and place significant weight on coursework, essays, and extracurriculars. Your application won’t be penalized if you choose not to include SAT results. Many schools in the U.S., like NYU or the University of Chicago, offer test-optional pathways.

SAT Scores are required for some programs

SAT scores are required for certain programs, majors, or applicant categories (such as international students or scholarship applicants), but not for all. For example, a university may waive SAT requirements for domestic students but still require them for business or engineering programs. Always check the specific department or admissions page for full details.

SAT Scores are not accepted

SAT scores are not considered at all during the admissions process. These universities rely on other credentials such as GPA, national high school exam results, entrance interviews, or subject-specific tests. For example, many institutions in the U.K., such as the University of Oxford, focus on A-levels, IB, or other standardized exams rather than the SAT.

SAT Scores are not specified

The university has not officially stated its SAT policy. This may be due to ongoing changes in test-optional trends, national admissions systems, or because SAT scores are considered on a case-by-case basis. If you're unsure, it's best to contact the admissions office directly or check the program-specific requirements.
