SAT Scores are optional

This university has a test-optional policy.

University College Cork operates a test-flexible policy for undergraduate applicants from the USA. While applicants are encouraged to submit SAT or ACT scores to support their application, it is not a strict requirement 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.
