Acceptance Rate100%

TCL’s 100% acceptance rate means admission is not the main hurdle; your strategy should focus on choosing an affordable program and setting up the support to keep progressing. Because TCL is test-optional, SAT/ACT scores are mainly useful if they help with placement or other colleges on your list.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional TCL, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscore-focused retakes. Since TCL does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, use its Regular Decision deadline as your cutoff; the December SAT or ACT is usually the last fall retake that can arrive in time, but confirm against TCL’s posted date.
