Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Wisconsin Lutheran is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if superscoring could help. Wisconsin Lutheran does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline, so check your intended application date and leave time for scores to arrive.
