TEST OPTIONAL UNIVERSITIES, EXTENDED FOR CLASS OF 2023
Several universities in the United States have extended their test-optional policies for the graduating class of 2023, due to the limited testing sessions that have been available worldwide over the past few years.
The list posted below is continually being updated and is not comprehensive. For a comprehensive list of universities that are test-optional, you can refer to the FairTest website.
In addition, the National Association of College Admissions Counseling (NACAC) has released a statement, signed by over 500 colleges & universities, stating explicitly that students will not be penalized for the absence of standardized testing in consideration of their application. You can read the statement and see the list of universities here: NACAC Statement (Keep in mind, if you do not see a university listed, that does not mean they are not test-optional; check on their website for their policy).

FAQ
FAQ
1. If I tell my counselor which test I want to take, will they complete the registration for me?
No. You are responsible for completing your registration for the tests.
2. Do I have options if I miss the registration deadlines?
For the SAT: Yes. There is a late registration date but additional fees may apply. If you miss that date, you may be able to register for the waitlist. These are not guaranteed spots and we recommend you not to rely on this options. For more information, click here.
