More DetailsSuperscoring Not Allowed
Walden University does not allow superscoring for undergraduate admissions. Superscoring is a practice where colleges consider the highest scores from multiple test dates, which can benefit applicants by showcasing their best performance. Since Walden does not permit this, applicants must submit their best single test score without the opportunity to combine results from different dates.
More DetailsTest Optional
Self-Reporting Not Allowed
Walden University is a test-optional institution, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. However, it does not allow self-reporting of scores, which means that if applicants do choose to submit scores, they must provide official results from testing agencies. Only 5% of applicants submitted SAT scores, while 3% submitted ACT scores, resulting in a combined total of 8%. This low percentage indicates that most applicants opt not to submit standardized test scores due to the test-optional policy.
