CWRU is Test Optional
At the time of application, you choose whether you wish to apply with testing scores or as test-optional candidates, and you can change your mind about this up until two weeks before your decision release date by completing the form on your applicant portal.
No catches. No exceptions.
- No testing is required for any of our nearly 100 programs of undergraduate study.
- No testing is required for the Pre-Professional Scholars Program (conditional admission to medical or dental school).
- No testing is required for any of our scholarship or financial aid programs.
- If you take a standardized test, you choose whether to send us your scores or not.
For students who choose to submit SAT or ACT scores, there are three ways you can submit them.
- You can report your scores on the Common App or Coalition with Scoir,
- Have your official score reports sent from the testing agency, or
- Self-report your scores on your applicant portal, which you will be given access to within two weeks of submitting your application. Enrolling students will confirm their testing with official score reports.
If you plan to send your test scores, you will need to use CWRU's score recipient codes:
SAT: 1105
ACT: 3244
