TEST OPTIONAL COLLEGES

The colleges named below are SAT/ACT Optional or Flexible, meaning that they minimize or eliminate the importance of standardized tests in the admissions process. ARHS students regularly apply to these colleges, excerpted from a longer list at www.fairtest.org. That website also contains many religious colleges, art schools, music conservatories and many state campuses. Consult the website for the complete list. Some colleges will consider scores if you send them and others will ignore them if they do not enhance your application. Visit individual college websites to learn about their test-optional policies.
