Northeastern University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Northeastern University is test optional, allowing applicants the choice to submit standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT. It also permits self-reporting of these scores, meaning students can provide their test results without needing official documentation at the time of application. Currently, 24% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 7% submit ACT scores; the total percentage of submissions exceeds 30%, indicating that some students submit both types of scores.
