Barclay’s admissions odds are moderate, but the bigger signal is student persistence, with a 52% freshman retention rate and 3% six-year graduation rate. Because Barclay is test-optional, you do not have to submit scores, but a strong SAT or ACT can still strengthen your application if testing is one of your advantages.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Barclay, aim to take your first test by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year for retakes if a stronger score would help, since Barclay’s September 1 Regular Decision deadline means fall senior-year retakes are unlikely to arrive in time.
