SAT Scores are optional
This university has a test-optional policy.
USFQ's admission process is based on its own entrance exam, the Prueba de Aptitud Académica (PAA), administered by the College Board. However, the university officially states that applicants can submit their SAT or ACT scores in lieu of taking the PAA. Therefore, the SAT is an optional but fully accepted pathway for admission.
Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
