Freshman Applicants

Test-Optional Policy

Salisbury University has an SAT/ACT optional admissions policy. Applicants who have earned a cumulative weighted grade point average of a 3.50 or higher on a 4.0 scale may choose whether or not to submit their standardized test scores. Applicants choosing to exclude standardized test scores must provide a personal statement to support individual achievements and/or experiences that may not be evident from a review of the official high school transcripts.

Applicants should also be taking a course load that evidences future success at the college level (Honors and AP courses). An applicant with a weighted grade point average of less than a 3.50 must submit their SAT or ACT scores as part of the admissions requirements. All applicants, regardless of Test-Optional status, should still submit standardized test scores for scholarship consideration.
