SAT Scores are optional

This university has a test-optional policy.

The University of Leicester considers US qualifications, including the SAT, for undergraduate admission. While AP scores are a primary route, the university may accept a strong SAT score (typically 1290 or higher) in combination with a High School Diploma as an alternative. The SAT is therefore an optional qualification considered as part of a holistic review.

Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
