Virginia State University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. However, the university does not allow self-reporting of scores, so students must submit official test scores if they choose to include them. Currently, 13% of applicants submit SAT scores, while only 2% submit ACT scores, indicating a total of 15% for standardized tests; this percentage reflects students who opted to submit either or both scores.
