Davidson is test-optional for the SAT or the ACT. Learn more about Davidon's test-optional policy.

Davidson accepts self-reported test scores submitted by the student at the time of application. If enrolling, students must submit official scores. Official scores can be submitted by a high school counselor or students can request official scores from the College Board and/or ACT. Do NOT use the rush reporting service.

For students submitting the SAT or ACT, the writing portion will not be considered as part of application review.

Home-schooled students are encouraged, although not required, to submit SAT and/or ACT scores and results of at least two SAT Subject or Advanced Placement exams. These exams may allow home-schooled students to demonstrate their various academic abilities in ways that can provide additional context on a home-school application.

TOEFL, IELTS, or DuoLingo testing is required for any international applicant whose first language is not English.

Please select “Early Decision” or "Regular Decision" as your admission application type.

If your parents are divorced or separated:

• Your non-custodial parent must submit a separate CSS Profile online. After your custodial parent completes the CSS Profile, your non-custodial parent may complete their application at the same website.
• If you do not have any contact with your non-custodial parent, then you may submit a request to waive the requirement of their financial information. Download the Non-Custodial Parent Waiver Petition.
