UChicago Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

The University of Chicago is test optional and allows self-reporting of scores, meaning applicants have the choice to submit standardized test scores without being penalized if they don't. Among applicants, 49% choose to submit SAT scores and 27% submit ACT scores, with the combined total exceeding 100% due to some students submitting both types of scores. This policy provides flexibility for applicants while still accommodating those who wish to include their test performance in the admissions process.
