Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because BUA is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores: take your first test by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes to improve your superscore. With BUA’s Regular Decision deadline on July 15, senior-year fall scores should arrive in time, and a December retake is typically the latest practical sitting.
