Stanly CC is more selective than many students expect from a community college, while keeping tuition very low. It is test-optional, so you are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores, but strong results can give admissions another concrete reason to say yes. If you test, aim for scores that clearly support your grades rather than submitting borderline results.
