If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Greensboro College, plan your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes and superscoring opportunities. Greensboro College does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, so do not use the April 15 financial aid priority deadline as your testing target; confirm the Regular Decision deadline before counting on a late fall retake.
