Cornell has suspended the SAT/ACT requirement for all 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 applicants. For students considering applying for fall 2025 and beyond, we will share more information in the spring of 2024. Please visit our Standardized Testing Policy website for details.

If English is not your native language or if you have not attended high school in a country where English is an official language for the four years prior to your planned enrollment at Cornell, you may be asked to submit results from an English language proficiency examination. For information on the dozens of examinations and other qualifications from around the world that meet this requirement, see the English Language Proficiency section on our How to Apply: International First-Year Applicants page.
