UCSD Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

The University of California, San Diego is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. It also allows self-reporting of scores, which enables students to provide their own reported scores instead of official ones during the application process. Approximately 89% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 34% submit ACT scores; the combined percentage exceeds 100% since some students submit both test scores.
