William Paterson University is a test-optional institution, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. Additionally, the university does not allow self-reporting of scores, which means applicants must submit official test results if they choose to provide them. Only 1% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while ACT submission data is not disclosed. Overall, this indicates a minimal reliance on standardized tests in the admissions process.
