Colleges that Allow Self-Reporting of SAT and ACT Scores

Important Context: ACT Science and Self-Reporting

With ACT science now an optional section, score reporting mechanics have become more complex. Self-reporting scores has long been a free and convenient option. The policy is now taking on new importance as a way for students to control how their scores are presented. See Compass’s ACT science policy tracker.

Many (but not all) colleges have agreed to defer to the student on whether science should be considered, but the ACT’s reporting system imposes limits. Official ACT Superscore reports always include science, even though it is no longer part of the superscore calculation. Most students in the class of 2026 have taken at least one ACT with science, meaning an official Superscore will inevitably show a science score, even when the student would prefer to exclude it.

Students can choose to send scores from individual test dates instead, but any report from a test date that included science will display that score, ostensibly for consideration.

When official score reports are required, a student’s best option is to contact the college directly to ask whether science can be suppressed.

For students applying via the Common App to self-reporting colleges, the process is simpler: just omit the science score. The Common App explicitly allows students to do so.

Among the many expenses that add up in the college admission process are application fees, test registration fees, and official score report fees. Many students are eligible to have these fees waived, but other students who don’t qualify for waivers may still find the costs to be a burden. A typical scenario might involve a student taking both the SAT and ACT once or twice, applying to 8–10 colleges, and spending a few hundred dollars simply to have official score reports sent to each college.

Over the past few years, efforts have been made to encourage more colleges to accept self-reported SAT and ACT scores from students during the application process and only require official reports when a student actually enrolls.

Compass tracks the testing policies at over 400 popular colleges and universities. Below, we have listed whether or not these schools allow students to self-report their test scores during the application process. Note some schools may still require official scores for international or home-schooled students.

Additionally, we have listed schools outside our 400+ which we’ve learned allow self-report. Our goal is to see that list grow. Please add a comment and provide the policy page link if you come across a new school. Only colleges that have written policies on their websites or in application materials are included here.

Please note: All colleges require official test scores upon enrollment; these are application policies only. Some schools may have different requirements to be eligible for merit-based scholarships. Students should check directly with each college to confirm they have the most recent and accurate policy information.

What does self-report mean in this context?

Yes = students can report scores in at least one of the following ways: the Common App, the school-specific application/portal, or by screenshotting/downloading an unofficial score report and emailing/uploading/etc. to the school
No = students can not submit their own scores; scores must come directly from testing agency, be recorded on the student’s high school transcript, or be sent by a counselor
Not specified = no definitive language on website
Does not consider SAT/ACT = these institutions do not review SAT/ACT scores during the admissions process, so a self-report policy is not required

  Hi Kelly,
  
  Thanks for reaching out! NC State posted a press release earlier this year with an update that they would accept self-reported scores. “This fall NC State will accept self-reported test scores from domestic freshman and transfer applicants through the Common Application or Coalition Application. […] Only students who ultimately decide to enroll at NC State will need to have official test scores sent to our office prior to enrolling.” It appears they haven’t updated their application website, though. So, for now, we have changed our link to the official update from the school.

Looks like Loyola Chicago is the next to add – Review Changes To Loyola’s Application Process
Loyola Accepts Self-Reported Test Scores
Beginning this fall, first-year applicants may self-report ACT and/or SAT scores on the application. Applicants who are offered admission and choose to matriculate at Loyola will be required to provide official results prior to enrolling. Students are encouraged to submit all of their scores. Loyola superscores the ACT and SAT. Students required to submit English proficiency test results (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE) should continue to send those scores through the testing services.

Hi Art/Margaux,

What I heard is that even though colleges on the list you have on your website allow self-reported scores, they may not consider you for merit scholarships unless you send “official” score reports via College Board. In other words, self-reporting (for colleges in the list above) is fine for admissions, but not necessarily fine for being considered for merit scholarships. It will be great if you can provide insight into this. Thanks.

  Hi Umesh,
  
  While I don’t know of any schools off-hand that have such a policy, it’s certainly possible. We do know that all schools require official scores upon enrollment, and there are some Test Optional schools that require you to submit standardized test scores to be considered for merit scholarships. Because individual admissions and scholarship policies can vary so widely, we always advise students to check with schools before submitting their applications. Best of luck!
