Bernard M. Baruch College is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admissions. The college allows self-reporting of scores, which permits students to share their own test results without needing to provide official documentation initially. Currently, 9% of applicants submit SAT scores, and there is no data available regarding ACT submissions. The low percentage of students submitting SAT scores reflects the growing trend toward test-optional policies in undergraduate admissions.
