Widener Admissions Has Gone Test Optional
We understand that COVID-19 has resulted in the cancellation of many standardized tests. To remove any barriers from your application, we are moving to a test-optional admissions process: domestic students who apply for the fall 2021 freshman class no longer need to submit an SAT or ACT score as part of their application.
