Acceptance Rate100%

CCA’s 100% acceptance rate shifts your strategy away from proving you belong and toward choosing a program, keeping costs predictable, and starting strong enough to stay on track. Since CCA is test-optional, use SAT/ACT prep only if it supports placement goals or a future transfer plan.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional CCA, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then save the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes. Because CCA does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline, and its May 1 aid priority deadline and listed scholarships do not require SAT/ACT scores, confirm CCA’s current application timeline before deciding which fall retake should be your last.
