The University of Pittsburgh is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) for admission. It also allows self-reporting of scores, enabling students to provide their test results without the need for official score submissions at the initial application stage. Currently, 40% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 10% submit ACT scores; this indicates that some students submit both, as the combined percentage exceeds 100%.
