American University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

American University is test optional, allowing students the choice to decide whether to submit standardized test scores. Additionally, it permits self-reporting of scores, meaning students can provide their test scores for admissions consideration without official documentation initially. Notably, 100% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, and 100% also submit ACT scores; this duality indicates that some students are submitting both types of scores for evaluation.
