USC Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

The University of Southern California is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. It also allows self-reporting of scores, which means students can provide their own reported scores without needing official verification initially. Notably, 100% of applicants submit SAT scores, and 100% submit ACT scores, which may indicate that some students are submitting both.
