Columbia University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Columbia University is test-optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. Additionally, the university allows self-reporting of scores, which enables students to list their test scores on their applications without needing to submit official documentation initially. Currently, 17% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 8% submit ACT scores. The combined percentage of 25% indicates some applicants are likely submitting both SAT and ACT scores.
