    Test-Optional Admissions Policy 

    Applying to Pitt-Greensburg? The decision to include SAT or ACT scores in the application portfolio is up to you. 

    The University of Pittsburgh’s decision to go test-optional through Fall 2028 is to ensure that no student is denied the opportunity to be considered for admission.

    All applicants to the University of Pittsburgh receive a comprehensive individual review; admission is not based on a single factor. In the absence of SAT or ACT test scores, the committee will determine admissibility by relying more heavily on other admissions factors.

    Please Note: Once a student’s application is under review, their test-optional status cannot be changed.

    Should I Apply Test Optional?

    For students with SAT/ACT scores, how you wish to present yourself to the Admissions Committee should be a personal decision. If you do not consider your test results to be an accurate reflection of your past academic performance and future academic potential, you may want to apply test-optional. Subsequently, if you have SAT/ACT results you believe add to your overall academic portfolio, you are invited to submit those scores. 

    Personal Statement or Essay

    When the application is finalized and submitted, applicants are not able to go back in to submit a personal statement. Applicants who wish to provide a Personal Statement or Essay in support of their application after submitting their application can email it to upgimnow@pitt.edu. Applicants must include their First Name, Last Name and home address as supplied on the application for admission.
