At EACC, a 100% acceptance rate means admission is the starting point, not the finish line. Because testing is optional, your best strategy is to line up placement, advising, and first-year support early so you can start strong and stay on track with the 70% who return for year two.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional EACC, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year plus the fall of senior year for retakes. Because EACC does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, plan around its Regular Decision deadline and use the last fall test date whose scores will arrive by that deadline as your final superscore opportunity.
