Test Optional FAQ
We don’t want test scores to stand in your way of becoming a Forester! Applicants may apply without an SAT, ACT or CLT score.
Why Choose Test-Optional?
We believe that test scores shouldn't stand in your way of becoming a Forester. Huntington University offers a holistic review of your application, considering your academic record, essays, extracurricular activities, and references—beyond just SAT, ACT, or CLT scores.
Who Is Eligible?
Test-optional admissions are available to U.S. students who have completed a college preparatory high school curriculum, including:
- 4 years of English
- 2 years of college preparatory mathematics
- 3 years of social studies (including American and world history)
Submitting Test Scores (Optional)
You are not required to submit SAT/ACT/CLT scores, even if you've taken these tests. However, submitting your scores can provide additional insight for admissions and course placement. Your standardized test scores may be sent to Huntington University through the test website (collegeboard.org or act.org). Our SAT code is 1304 and our ACT code is 1202.
- SAT Code: 1304
- ACT Code: 1202
- CLT Scores: Email to admissions@huntington.edu
You can also submit scores via your high school transcript.
Homeschooled Students
Homeschooled students and those from non-graded high schools can also apply test-optional. Submit a transcript with a GPA equivalent to 2.3 or higher and an essay.
Impact on Financial Aid
All full-time students are eligible for academic scholarships, regardless of test scores. While submitting scores is optional, doing so may help identify additional scholarship opportunities.
