Three Rivers College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
With a 100% acceptance rate, Three Rivers is built around access, so your main task is planning how to start strong once you enroll. Since it is test-optional, use SAT or ACT prep only if scores will help with placement, advising, or your own readiness, not because admission depends on them.

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Three Rivers, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use summer before senior year and fall for retakes that could improve a superscore. Since Three Rivers does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, your last useful fall retake should be the latest test date whose scores arrive before its Regular Decision deadline.
