Allen College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
Allen College’s test-optional policy gives you flexibility, and the data does not show merit awards tied to SAT or ACT scores. Use your score as an admissions asset: submit it if it clearly supports your academic record, and lean on grades, coursework, and relevant experiences if it does not.

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Allen College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes. Since Allen College does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, your last fall retake should be the one that can report scores before the Regular Decision deadline.
