School of the Visual Arts Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

The School of the Visual Arts is test optional, allowing applicants to choose whether or not to submit standardized test scores. Additionally, self-reporting of scores is permitted, meaning students can provide their own reported SAT or ACT results without submitting official scores initially. Approximately 59% of applicants submit SAT scores, and 59% submit ACT scores; the combined submission percentage exceeds 100% because some students provide both scores.
