Bob Jones University SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
With a 100% acceptance rate, BJU’s key question is whether its cost, academic environment, and outcomes fit your goals. Because it is test-optional, submit scores only if they strengthen your profile or meet a specific program requirement, and ask early what support will help you stay on track to graduate.
