Gardner Webb University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. However, self-reporting of test scores is not allowed, which means that students must submit official test scores if they choose to send them. Currently, 13% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 23% submit ACT scores, resulting in a total of 36%. The combined percentages exceed 100% because some students submit both SAT and ACT scores.
