The University of South Dakota is a test-optional institution that allows self-reporting of standardized test scores. This means that applicants are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores for admission but can choose to report them if they believe it will enhance their application. Currently, 4.23% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 61.85% submit ACT scores, indicating that some applicants may be submitting both types of scores, as the total exceeds 100%.
