Test Optional Policy for Applicants in 2022
As part of our commitment to always put students first, WashU has extended our test optional policy for applicants in Fall 2022. We believe standardized test scores provide us with information about an applicant’s preparation for success at WashU. However, given the current context, students who are unable to, or who elect not to, submit SAT or ACT scores, will have the standardized testing requirement waived. To learn more, visit our Fall 2021 and 2022 Applicant Info page.
