Follow these steps to get started

Salem State University is a test-optional institution. We focus our admission decisions on a student’s academic work and grade point average (GPA), which research has shown are better predictors of academic success.

Students who wish to submit their test scores (SAT/ACT) are encouraged to do so in addition to their required admissions materials (application and transcript). Salem State's school code is 3522

We generally advise students with a 2.5 GPA or lower to voluntarily submit additional application supporting materials, including:

  • Test scores (SAT/ACT) directly from their testing agency
  • Letter(s) of recommendation from a teacher, high school guidance counselor, coach, employer, or mentor
  • Essay
