Test policy

Test optional Applicants may choose whether to send a score.

Fisk is test-optional: SAT/ACT scores are not required but may be submitted, and are required for consideration for some top scholarships. However, Fisk's international students page lists official ACT or SAT scores among required items for international applicants (conflicting; confirm with Fisk). No entry term named.
