Cornell University has extended its suspension of SAT/ACT requirements for 2025 applicants. If you do not submit your scores at the time you apply for admission, but later decide that you would like to submit scores, you are welcome to do so. The best way to submit SAT or ACT scores after applying is via the supplemental information section of your online applicant portal, under the heading "Upload Materials."

Please note that some of Cornell’s undergraduate colleges and schools are score-free, while others are test-recommended.

Score-free colleges that will not use test scores in the admission process:

• Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
• Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning
• Cornell SC Johnson College of Business - Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management
• Cornell SC Johnson College of Business - Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration

Test-recommended colleges/schools that will include a review of test results if they are submitted in the application review process:

• Cornell University College of Arts & Sciences
• Cornell University College of Engineering
• Cornell University College of Human Ecology
• Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy
• Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations
   

Effective for students applying to enroll for fall 2026 or beyond, applicants to all Cornell undergraduate colleges and schools will be required to submit standardized test scores. To learn more, visit our Standardized Testing Policy webpage.
