Test Score Consideration
GO.NCSU.EDU/TEST-SCORE-CONSIDERATION
NC State will be test-optional for 2023 and 2024 spring and fall first-year applicants. On the
application students will have the option to indicate whether or not they would like test
scores to be considered in their application review. If they indicate yes, they will be required
to self-report SAT or ACT scores to complete their application. If they indicate no, test scores
will not be required and any scores we may already have on record will not be displayed to
application reviewers. If students elect to self-report test scores on their application, official
SAT (Code # 5496) or ACT (Code # 3164) test scores must be submitted directly from the
testing agency once they confirm their enrollment to NC State. Students’ consideration
for admission, merit scholarships or the University Honors Program will not be negatively
impacted if they opt not to submit test scores.
