Macalester College Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Macalester College is test optional and allows self-reporting of scores. This means that applicants can choose whether or not to submit standardized test scores, and if they do, they can provide their own reported scores rather than requiring official ones. Currently, 29% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 23% submit ACT scores, totaling 52%. This sum exceeds 100% because some students send both SAT and ACT scores.
