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.
