Do I need to take the SAT or ACT to apply to The College of Westchester?
No, we are a test-optional college. Recent U.S. high school graduates may be accepted based on their high school performance without submitting ACT or SAT scores. Instead of standardized test scores, CW administers a placement test to determine your math and English proficiency levels. If you earned Regents English and Math exam scores of 80 or above, you’re exempt from taking the placement test. This approach allows admissions decisions to focus on overall academic readiness rather than standardized test scores. Apply Now Without SAT/ACT Scores
