Because Bastyr is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and October for retakes if you want another chance to improve your score. For Bastyr’s Early Decision deadline, October is typically the last retake whose scores are likely to arrive in time.
