Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are required for most applicants to Belmont Abbey College (BAC), though test-optional policies may apply for certain programs or circumstances.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review, alongside GPA, essays, and other application materials, rather than strict cutoffs.
• BAC practices superscoring, meaning the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates are combined for consideration.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for academic placement or credit but do not replace SAT/ACT requirements.
• Prospective students are encouraged to aim for SAT scores at or above the average of 1090 to strengthen their application to Belmont Abbey College.
