Acceptance Rate93.6%

With a 93.6% acceptance rate, your main question at SLCC is not whether you can get in. It is whether you are prepared to persist, since 57% of freshmen return for year two. Because SLCC is test-optional, treat the SAT or ACT as a readiness tool and focus on the score your program or placement process requires.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional SLCC, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for a possible retake. Because SLCC’s Regular Decision deadline is August 15, fall senior retakes are unlikely to arrive in time, so treat the summer retake as your last chance to improve a superscore for that application.
