Boston University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Boston University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores for admission. Additionally, the university allows self-reporting of scores, which enables students to submit their test scores without official verification at the time of application. About 43.7% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, and the same percentage applies to those submitting ACT scores. This indicates that some students are likely submitting both types of scores, as the total exceeds 100%.
