    Test-Optional
    Due to the pandemic limiting student access to testing, the majority of colleges have gradually moved to a “Test-Optional” admissions policy, meaning they will accept any scores submitted with applications but do not require them.  If scores are not sent, colleges typically add a requirement to replace the missing scores (essay questions, personal statements, etc.) to complete their applications.
