Normandale combines community-college pricing with a more selective admit rate than many students expect. Because it is test-optional, you can apply without scores, but submitting a strong SAT or ACT can still strengthen your case. If your grades are uneven, focus on earning a score you would be confident sending rather than treating optional as irrelevant.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Normandale, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you have time to improve. Use the summer before senior year for a retake and possible superscoring, since no fall senior-year retake will arrive in time for the August 14 Regular Decision deadline.
