Antelope Valley College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
With AVC’s 100% acceptance rate, your strategy should start with planning how to make the most of an open-access option, not wondering whether there is room for you. Because testing is optional, focus your SAT or ACT work on placement, transfer goals, or keeping four-year options open rather than treating scores as an admissions gatekeeper.

Because AVC is test-optional, use this plan only if you choose to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then save the summer before senior year and a fall retake for superscoring. The March 2 financial aid priority deadline does not drive your testing plan, so make sure any fall retake scores arrive by AVC’s application deadline.
