The University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores to be considered for admission. However, self-reporting of scores is not allowed, so applicants must submit official scores if they choose to provide them. Currently, 5% of applicants submit SAT scores and 5% submit ACT scores, indicating that some students may be submitting both, resulting in a total submission percentage above 100%.
