Do I need SAT or ACT for Vanderbilt University courses?

Pallavi Garg

Vanderbilt University does not require students to submit SAT or ACT scores for undergraduate admission for the next admission years, ie, 2026, 2027. Students are free to choose whether to submit the SAT or ACT scores.

International students just need to submit the English proficiency test scores, like IELTS/TOEFL, or Duolingo, and they must meet the GPA requirement, coursework requirements, essays, recommendations, and extracurricular activities.

To reiterate, there is no advantage or disadvantage for an applicant not choosing to submit ACT or SAT scores.
