Randolph-Macon admits a large share of applicants, so your strategy should be choosing whether test scores strengthen your case. Because SAT scores are submitted much more often than ACT scores here, aim for a SAT near or above 1215. If your score is below that, test-optional can still make sense when your GPA and coursework are stronger.
