TEST-OPTIONAL SCHOOLS
During COVID, many schools made the decision to go "test-optional" as part of their application processes. As you are doing research about colleges and applications, make sure you stay up to date with the school's latest requirements. You may want to check each school's website or reach out to an admissions representative for the latest information.
Visit www.fairtest.org for a full and current list of test-optional schools.
