"Test-optional admission supports our mission to review each applicant holistically,
looking beyond test scores at what students have achieved in their schools and communities,"
said Dean of Admission Heath Einstein.
Within the past three years, TCU has admitted thousands of applicants and issued millions
of scholarship dollars to students without test scores. In fact, 46% of Horned Frogs
who deposited for fall 2023 did not use their test scores.
And under TCU's “Do No Harm” policy, there is no downside to submitting test scores. This policy applies to both admission and scholarship. We also superscore, meaning we'll consider your highest section scores across multiple sittings or test dates.
