Because Chamberlain Columbus 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 of senior year for retakes and superscoring. Since there is no Early Decision or Early Action deadline, choose the latest fall retake that will report before the regular admission deadline rather than using the March 1 financial aid priority deadline to plan testing.
