La Sierra University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: No

La Sierra University is a test-optional institution, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores as part of their application. Additionally, the university does not allow self-reporting of test scores, which means students must submit official scores if they choose to provide them. Currently, 25% of applicants submit SAT scores and 2% submit ACT scores, indicating that while there is some interest in standardized tests, the majority of students are choosing not to submit them. The combined percentage of students submitting scores is 27%, suggesting that some students may be submitting both types of scores.
