Test policy

Test optional Applicants may choose whether to send a score.

Binghamton is test-optional (SAT/ACT not required) for first-year applicants, including Fall 2027 applicants; applicants choose whether scores are reviewed. International applicants who submit SAT/ACT must send official scores directly from the testing agency, and non-native English speakers must submit an English proficiency score less than two years old. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
