With quarantine and the move to online learning in 2020, and the cancellation of standardized tests, many colleges and universities rethought admissions criteria. As of Spring 2022, all of Washington's public universities are at least test optional - meaning SAT or ACT scores are not required for admission - and Washington's private, not for profit colleges are as well. Below is a video that discusses how to decide to test and which test to take.
For more detailed information about applications being test optional, please see Test Optional Information from Washington Student Achievement Council.
For a list of out of state colleges/universities that are test optional please visit fairtest.org.
If you do decide to take the SAT or ACT, Bothell's CEEB Code is 480100. You will need this number when registering for either test.
