MIT Testing Policy

Test Optional: No

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

MIT is not test optional, meaning that applicants are required to submit standardized test scores as part of their application. However, the college does allow self-reporting of scores, which means that students can provide their test scores on their application without needing to submit official score reports initially. About 78% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 32% submit ACT scores; the combined total exceeds 100%, indicating that some students are submitting both SAT and ACT scores.
