Because New York Tech is test-optional, use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Aim for your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and a fall retake for possible superscoring; since New York Tech does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline, make sure your last retake scores arrive before you submit your application.
