Test policy

Test optional Applicants may choose whether to send a score.

F&M is test-optional with a 'no harm' approach: SAT/ACT scores are considered only if they strengthen the application, and applying without scores has no negative impact; submitted scores are superscored. The same policy is stated on the international admission page (Fall 2027 cycle checklist); English proficiency test required for non-native speakers. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
