Oberlin College has moved to a test-optional model starting with the 2020-2021 admissions cycle and continuing as a pilot program through the 2022-2023 application year. SAT and ACT score submissions will still be accepted, but will no longer be required. If desired, you may submit results from SAT II subject exams. For students who would like to submit test scores, Oberlin can use self-reported SAT and ACT scores to evaluate an application for admission. Oberlin will accept official score reports from the testing agency, or scores listed on official high school transcripts. |
