National American University SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements

SAT RangeN/A
ACT RangeN/A
Average GPA3.10
Acceptance Rate100%

National American’s 100% acceptance rate means admission is the starting point, not the finish line. Your bigger task is to check program fit, total cost, and support systems, since the 33% freshman retention rate makes persistence worth asking about. If you test well, submit scores as extra evidence of academic strength, not as the core strategy.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional National American, aim to take your first test by spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for a retake if needed. Since National American does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, keep fall of senior year as your final superscore opportunity and make sure any retake scores arrive before the Regular Decision deadline.
