Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional at the University of Detroit Mercy due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores is recommended for merit scholarships.
• UDM employs a holistic review process, evaluating SAT scores in context with academic records and personal achievements.
• The University of Detroit Mercy practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but do not replace SAT scores in admissions decisions.
• Prospective students should aim for an SAT score of at least 1150–1250 to be competitive for admission to UDM, especially for selective programs.
