Southern Methodist University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Southern Methodist University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. It also allows self-reporting of scores, which enables students to share their SAT and ACT results directly on their applications. Approximately 15.5% of applicants submit SAT scores, and 9.3% submit ACT scores, indicating a combined submission rate of 24.8%, which suggests that some students provide both scores.
