Key Points:

• Seton Hall University (SHU) has a test-optional policy, meaning SAT or ACT scores are not required for most applicants, though submitting strong scores can enhance an application.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, considering academic performance, leadership, and personal achievements alongside test results.
• SHU practices superscoring for the SAT, taking the highest section scores across multiple test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be considered for academic preparedness or credit, though they do not replace SAT scores if submitted.
• Applicants are recommended to aim for an SAT score of at least 1290, with scores closer to 1390 or higher improving competitiveness for admission to Seton Hall University.
