Michigan’s website states that they will allow self-reporting for 23-24 — the list says (2022-2023)
https://admissions.umich.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/requirements-deadlines
***We will allow for self reported test scores for the 2023-24 season; the scores do not need to come from the testing agency. If you have not yet had your scores reported, you can have them sent to us using these links:”
Thanks for the update!
Oregon State University also says they will accept self-reported scores, in fact, they prefer it!
https://www.compassprep.com/self-reporting-test-scores/
Thank you for letting us know about Oregon State! We’ve added them.
According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, they are changing their policy for the class of 2025 to require official test scores.
That’s correct! We’ve removed them from the list.
St. Mary’s College of Maryland allows self-reporting as well:

Hi Nathalie,
Thanks for letting us know! We’ve added SMCM to the list.
When was the last time this list was updated? Thanks!
Hi Erin,
This is not an exhaustive list. But we continually add schools as we hear of their policies. In fact, we just learned of University of Vermont, so the table has been updated to include UVM today.
Penn State now allows students to self report ACT/SAT scores in their MyPennState Account portal after they’ve applied https://www.psu.edu/resources/faq/test-optional
Thank you for letting us know, Andrea!
Hi, I’m the Vice President of Enrollment Management at Oglethorpe University and I’d be delighted for you to add Oglethorpe to the list of schools that accept self-reported scores from applicants who wish for their scores to be considered (though we remain quite truly test optional). Thank you!
