Cal State Drops SAT/ACT Admission Requirement

Add Cal State to the test-optional list! This comes as no surprise as many schools and universities have made submitting the SAT and ACT scores optional. Although SAT and ACT scores submitted could help placement in English and Math courses, they will not be considered for admissions purposes.

An excerpt from the article:

“The system had suspended the standardized test requirement during the pandemic, instead basing admission on what it called a “multi-factor admissions score” that allowed campuses to consider high school grade point averages, extracurricular activities and leadership roles as well as whether applicants were a first-generation college student or came from schools with a high percentage of low-income students.”
