ACT or SAT scores (if submitted)

Candidates are encouraged to apply early, as admission is granted on a rolling basis.

While ACT or SAT scores may not be required to be eligible for admission, they are still important for scholarships, academic placement and other opportunities.

If a test score is submitted, MSU will superscore (highest ACT or SAT subject test scores from the same test type when scores from more than one test date are submitted.) A combination of ACT and SAT subtest scores cannot be combined to calculate a superscore.
