DeSales University is test optional, meaning applicants can choose whether to submit standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT without affecting their admission chances. The university allows self-reporting of scores, which means students can provide their test scores on their applications without needing official score reports initially. 25% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 6% submit ACT scores; the combined percentage exceeds 100% due to some students submitting both sets of scores.
