SAT or ACT scores are required for all applicants who graduated from high school after 1998. This requirement is waived for transfer students who have completed a minimum of 24 credits with a GPA of at least 2.0.

Three SAT II Subject Tests are highly recommended. It is recommended that you take one Math (of your choice), one Science (of your choice), and then a third of your choice.

No. There are no cutoffs and we do not admit "by the numbers." The mid 50% for students admitted to the class of 2010 are as follows: SAT (critical reading/math) 1480-1560 and ACT (english/math) 33-35.

The minimum required TOEFL score for both undergraduate and graduate applicants is 550 on the paper-based exam or 213 on the computer-based exam. It is important to specify whether you are applying as an undergraduate or graduate student; requirements differ for each student classification.

SAT/ACT scores are generally not required for transfer students. However, if a student interested in transferring to Canisius is currently in his/her first semester of courses at another college or university, SAT or ACT scores may be considered.

Our Student Records Department has PSAT, SAT and ACT test scores on the transcripts for some students, but only if the student provided us with his/her correct social security number and put the correct social security number on the test at the time the test was taken. Test scores are posted from a data file purchased from the testing company, so we can't be certain that all information is provided. We are under no requirement to maintain these scores, but do so as a convenience to the students.

ACT/SAT scores are used to place students into the appropriate levels of math, English, and reading courses. If ACT or SAT scores place students into courses below college-level, they may try to improve their course placement by taking the COMPASS test.

The chapters will take into account a participant's SAT/ACT scores along with her high school/college grades. If a Potential New Member's scores/grades are low, the chapters will have concern for the possibility of the Potential New Member experiencing difficulty in managing the time commitment required for New Member Education and a busy school schedule.

All freshmen applicants are required to take either the College Board's Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the ACT by November 2007. There is no minimum SAT or ACT score required for admission. Freshman applicants are ranked using the CSU eligibility index which combines the grade point average and SAT/ACT test scores. For fall 2007, the average SAT score of admitted freshmen who met the selective criteria was 1,128; the average ACT composite score was 24.

Once a student is admitted to the University, they are admitted to the College of Engineering. The University admission requirements are listed below:

Consult the charts in the Academic Advising or Admissions sections or refer to the schedule of courses.

Yes. Standardized test scores are an important part of your application for admission, but they are only one part of your application. Each major has established requirements. For example, the School of Business and Engineering place more of an emphasis on the math SAT than most of the majors in the School of Arts and Sciences. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions.

If you are applying as a freshman student at LTU, you are required to take either the SAT or ACT.  If you have taken at least 30 credits or one year of full-time college course-work you are not required to take the SAT or ACT for admission.

You may have read that the average SAT is 1170 or 26 ACT. If you are above those averages and have strong grades, you are doing well. Students with scores below the average should remember that it’s an average and not a minimum. Remember, we take your test scores in context with your entire application. We accept either test. We recommend that you take two tests (two SATs, two ACTs, or one of each). We’ll take your top score. Whatever you do, try to relax while taking the test.

It is the student's responsibility to release test scores to colleges during the application process. To officially release SAT scores, you must call the College Board and request your scores to be sent to the colleges you indicate. You have the option of using an automated phone service (800-728-7267) or connecting with an operator (609-771-7600). You will need a credit card number and the college code numbers (which are found in the SAT I/II Registration Bulletin).

If you are still in high school, we suggest that you take the ACT. You may decide to attend college elsewhere later where the test may be required for admission, and your basic skills assessment (ASSET) may be waived at Hawkeye with adequate ACT scores.

We do not require the SAT / ACT for admission. However, we do recommend that you still take them. If you have taken the test, feel free to forward your scores to the Office of Admissions for review.

You will receive a scaled score of 1-36 on each of the 4 ACT tests (you will receive a raw score of 2-12 on your essay that represents the sum of the 1-6 scores from two graders). Your composite score on the ACT is the average of your 4 scores rounded to the nearest integer, so it is also a 1-36 score. Because the SAT and the ACT are completely different tests developed by different companies, their scores cannot be compared directly.

SAT II Subject Tests are optional for most students but strongly recommended. These exams can be very helpful in evaluating scholarship applicants. If you attend a high school not recognized by one of the regional accrediting associations or if you are home-schooled, you are required to take three SAT II Subject Tests, (including the writing exam and one of the math exams), in addition to the SAT I or ACT.

No, the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is required. SAT information provides additional information about standardized testing. Please view our Admissions Brochure.
