Standardized Testing PolicyWe understand that SAT and ACT scores are not always a reflection of student ability, so we do not require standardized test scores for students applying to Hofstra for full-time undergraduate admission. This provides you with the ability to decide for yourself how to best present your academic strengths and abilities to the Admission Committee, and allows you to decide whether or not the standardized test results accurately reflect your academic ability and potential. The mid-range of admitted students submitting SAT scores is 1140 to 1330, with an average ACT equivalent of 24 to 31. If you choose to submit scores from the SAT or the ACT, official test scores must be sent directly from the testing service. Once the application form has been submitted, that choice cannot be changed or rescinded. Visit hofstra.edu/testingpolicy for more information. Some restrictions apply.
