Millersville Continues Test-Optional Policy <br /> <br /> Back in 2020, Millersville University decided to make SAT and ACT scores an optional part of the student application process in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the University is continuing this policy up through the fall semester of 2024, placing less emphasis on test scores and more on the general academic success of students seeking to apply. <br /> <br /> The University was the first school in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education to make standardized test scores optional in 2014 as a part of the pilot program. <br /> <br /> “The SAT or ACT is just one measure of a student’s success and temporarily waiving the requirement removes that barrier for students to enter Millersville,” says Dr. Katy Charles, director of admissions. “In 2024, the University will review the success rates of students who entered without a standardized test score in order to make a decision about a permanent policy.” <br /> <br /> Applicants are asked to submit their high school transcript and an application essay. Like test scores, letters of recommendation are optional. “The most emphasis is put on how the student performed in their high school academics,” explains Charles. <br /> <br /> This good news comes just in time for current high school students looking to apply to Millersville University— the admissions application for fall 2023 opened on July 1.
