Methodist College is selective despite an average entering GPA near 3.0, so your goal is to add clear evidence that you can handle the coursework. It is test-optional, but an SAT or ACT score above the school’s admitted-student average can strengthen your application if your GPA is near the typical profile.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Methodist College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and fall senior year for retakes and potential superscoring; a December retake should still arrive in time for the May 1 Regular Decision deadline.
