Test policy

Test optional Applicants may choose whether to send a score.

Pomona College is test optional (made permanent in 2023): SAT or ACT scores are not required to apply; if the ACT is submitted, the Science section is required. The page names no entry term and states no separate rule for international applicants. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
