(Optional) Test Scores 
Self-Reported or Official Reports

SAT code: 5150
ACT code: 3086

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.
