The Master's University SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
At The Master's, an 84% acceptance rate means strong applicants should think beyond admission toward cost. Because the President’s Academic Scholarship starts at a 1350 SAT or 30 ACT with a 3.5 GPA, a strong score can turn the test-optional choice into a merit aid opportunity worth $20,000 to $80,000.

If you choose to submit scores to The Master's, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year for a superscore-boosting retake. Because the Regular Decision deadline is September 1, no fall senior-year SAT or ACT is likely to arrive in time for that application, so treat the summer retake as your last practical shot. A stronger score can still matter for the Presidents Academic Scholarship, which lists SAT 1350+ or ACT 30+.
