Bowdoin College Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Bowdoin College is test optional and allows self-reporting of scores. This means that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores to be considered for admission, and those who do submit scores can report them on their own without requiring official documentation. Approximately 8.02% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 46% submit ACT scores; the total percentage exceeds 100% due to some students submitting both types of scores.
