Test Scores (Optional) SAT code: 2926 |
Penn offers students the option to apply without consideration of their SAT or ACT scores. Learn more about Penn's test-optional policy. Applicants may self-report their SAT or ACT scores using the QuestBridge application. If an applicant submits scores from both the SAT and the ACT, Penn will pay attention to the higher score from either test. Official scores will be required for students who enroll at Penn and requested that their scores be considered for admission. Penn reserves the right to rescind admissions in the case of applicant misrepresentation including discrepancies between self-reported and official test scores. For international students attending schools where English is not the language of instruction, Penn continues to require testing that demonstrates English-language proficiency. For Penn, students should take one of the following: the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) administered by the Educational Testing Service, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the DUOLINGO English Test.
