All applicants must submit standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, or CLT). Applications may be submitted without scores, but they will not be considered complete until an official test score is received. Verified scores must come directly from the testing agency and should be sent immediately after submitting the application to ensure timely review.

• SAT Code: 9190 (Essay section not considered)
• ACT Code: 8137 (Writing section not considered)
• CLT Code: Select “University of Austin” in your CLT account
• Ensure scores are received as soon as possible after application submission. Admissions decisions may be delayed or withheld until verified scores are received.

If you scored SAT ≤ 1450, ACT ≤ 32, CLT ≤ 104, submit exceptional AP scores (4/5) or IB scores (5/6/7). If you are applying for Fall 2025 regular admission, list up to three verifiable achievements, each in a single sentence. No essays, extracurriculars, or GPAs are considered.

Score Review Policies:

• We consider SAT, ACT, and CLT scores equally.
• We superscore: we consider the highest section scores across multiple test sittings.
• Include all test attempts; we will use the highest verified scores.
• Essay or writing components of standardized tests are not considered in the evaluation.

Updates & Reconsideration of Test Scores:

• Applicants may submit updated scores from subsequent test dates.
• Applications may be reopened or reconsidered if test scores improve.
• Denied or waitlisted applicants may be reconsidered upon submission of new scores.
• All admissions decisions are final as of August 1, 2026.
• No test scores will be reconsidered after August 1, 2026.
