Because Queens College is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes to improve your superscore. Queens College does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline here, so confirm the current application cutoff before relying on a fall retake score.
