AdventHealth University SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional AHU, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes if a higher score would strengthen your application. Because AHU’s earliest deadline is May 1 for Early Decision and Early Action, a December retake should still leave time for scores to arrive.
