# What is the required testing to apply to Penn?

Modified on Wed, 6 Aug, 2025 at 11:58 AM

Penn applicants are required to submit the SAT or ACT for the 2025-2026 application cycle. Applicants who face a hardship in meeting this requirement can submit a waiver instead. This applies to both first-year and transfer applicants. [Learn more about our testing policy here](https://admissions.upenn.edu/how-to-apply/what-penn-looks-for/testing).

International applicants may be required to submit English Proficiency test scores. For more information, please visit our [website](https://admissions.upenn.edu/how-to-apply/international-applicants/guidelines).
