Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional at Dallas Baptist University (DBU) due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores is recommended for a stronger application.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside GPA, leadership roles, and personal statements, rather than strict cutoffs.
• DBU practices superscoring for the SAT, meaning the admissions team considers the highest section scores across multiple test dates to form a composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be considered for admissions or credit purposes, though they do not replace SAT scores entirely.
• For competitive applications, prospective students should aim for an SAT score of 1100 or higher to align with the average at Dallas Baptist University and increase their chances of admission.
