SAT/ACT Optional Policy
During the application review process, we will also consider your SAT I or ACT scores if you chose to submit those scores to us. However, we are an SAT/ACT optional institution. For students who feel that their standardized test scores, such as the SAT or ACT do not provide an accurate indication of their ability to be successful in college, we provide the option to submit an academic portfolio of written work in lieu of standardized test scores.
The academic portfolio must include 3 - 5 writing samples (at least one should be a graded expository written work) and, if available, jr/sr year reading lists.
Applicants who choose Guilford's Test Optional Policy must also submit the Test Optional Form and have an admission interview, either on campus or by telephone. Students are responsible for scheduling an interview.
For more information about Guilford's Test Optional Policy, please contact your admission counselor.
