Test Scores
Official Reports

SAT code: 2672
ACT code: 2588

Request official scores from the College Board and/or ACT. Do NOT use the rush reporting service.

Princeton requires official scores for the old SAT, the new SAT or the ACT. Princeton recommends, but does not require, official scores for two SAT Subject Tests. They have no preference for the specific SAT Subject Tests applicants might choose to take. However, if you apply for the B.S.E. (Engineering) degree, it is recommended that you take Mathematics (Level I or II) and either Physics or Chemistry.

The SAT October testing date and the ACT September date are the latest dates for consideration in the Match. Visit Princeton's website for more information about standardized testing for admission. Scores should be sent from the testing agencies directly to Princeton's Office of Admission.

Each required document (e.g. tax return, non-custodial parent form) can be uploaded one time in the appropriate document type field. If needed, you can use the "other" field for an additional upload.

Once you submit the PFAA, you'll receive an acknowledgement email that includes a six-digit application number. Write this number on the following documents before you fax them.
