Test policy

Test blind Scores aren't considered, even if sent.

UC Davis no longer considers SAT or ACT scores for admission decisions or scholarship awards (page names no specific term; applies to the current fall 2027 UC application). Scores may be self-reported only after first submitting the application without them; no separate international testing rule stated beyond English proficiency. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
