Penn State goes Test Optional for Summer/Fall 2021 application cycle

Yes, I do! Test optional was key for all of my daughters applications this year. She took the SAT’s and ACT in 10th grade as “practice”…ie…scores were not great - and she hasn’t been able to take them since. Her GPA is a 3.83 so she has a lot of options with GPA alone that she wouldn’t have had if they’d made her submit her test scores. She’s already accepted into Arizona State directly into a program she really likes that PSU doesn’t have - so we shall see. I’d love her to go to PSU like my other two kids but because of her interests, it’s not looking like it’s her first choice.
