Test Policy

Testing is optional for all students (except for those applying to the combined law or medical programs, and for those who are homeschooled). Testing is not required to be eligible for merit scholarships.

As an applicant, if you choose to send your scores to Union, we will use them in the evaluation of your application. If you decide that your scores should not be a part of our evaluation–or if you were unable to take the SAT or ACT and do not have scores to send–check the appropriate box on the application to let us know that you wish to have your application reviewed without consideration of test scores.

When deciding whether or not to submit testing, consider the average score or middle 50% range of scores for Union. For enrolling students, the middle 50% range for the SAT is 1300-1470 [math + reading only] and the middle 50% for the ACT is 30-33. If your tests meet or exceed these ranges, we recommend submitting them. If you have SAT or ACT scores from multiple test dates, we will superscore. In a typical enrolled class at Union, 35-40% of students did not submit testing.
