Westminster College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
Westminster’s 79% acceptance rate means your strategy should focus on showing academic readiness, not just getting a yes. Even though Westminster is test-optional, ACT scores are submitted far more often than SAT scores here, so a 24+ ACT is a smart target. If you submit SAT instead, aim for 1090+.

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Westminster, 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. Since Westminster does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, choose the last fall retake whose scores will arrive before the Regular Decision deadline, not the November 15 financial aid priority deadline.
