The University of West Los Angeles is test optional, allowing applicants to decide whether to submit standardized test scores. However, it does not permit self-reporting of scores, meaning all submitted scores must be officially reported. Currently, 5% of applicants submit SAT scores and 3% submit ACT scores; the combined total of 8% reflects a small percentage of students choosing to submit standardized tests, indicating a trend towards less reliance on testing in the admissions process.
