Acceptance Rate100%

Simmons College’s 100% acceptance rate means admission is not the main question. Your strategy should be to confirm the school’s academic support, costs, and path to graduation, especially with an 8% six-year graduation rate. Because it is test-optional, submit SAT or ACT scores only if they add clear evidence of your readiness.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Simmons College, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscore-focused retakes. The July 15 financial aid priority deadline does not require SAT or ACT scores, so it should not determine your testing timeline.
