Corban’s high acceptance rate means admission is realistic for many students who are on track academically. Your best strategy is to keep your GPA close to or above the 3.53 entering average, then submit an SAT or ACT score only if it strengthens a test-optional application.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Corban, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes. Since Corban does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, plan your final fall retake so scores arrive before the Regular Decision deadline.
