Buena Vista University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Buena Vista University is a test-optional institution, allowing applicants the choice to submit standardized test scores. Additionally, the university permits self-reporting of scores, meaning students can provide their test results on their application without needing to submit official scores directly from testing agencies. Currently, 8% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores while 100% submit ACT scores; the total exceeds 100% due to some students submitting both types of scores.
