The Best Test Optional Colleges in South Carolina

Apply to colleges without SAT or ACT scores

These South Carolina colleges don't require students to submit SAT or ACT test scores with their applications. This is good news if you didn't take the test or received a low score. Remember, your GPA, high school activities, letters of recommendation and essays are even more important admission factors when you don't submit test scores.
