St. Olaf College Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

St. Olaf University is test optional, allowing students to decide whether to submit standardized test scores as part of their application. It also permits self-reporting of scores, meaning applicants can provide their own reported scores rather than requiring official transcripts initially. Currently, 11% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores while 29% submit ACT scores, totaling 40%. This overlap indicates that some students are submitting both SAT and ACT scores.
