Test Optional Admission Policy

While some students feel their ACT or SAT scores accurately reflect their academic potential, you may not. Grades, strength of curriculum, and character have always been the most important elements of our holistic admission review process. Lake Erie College does not believe that a standardized test score defines who you are academically. Allowing you to decide whether or not to submit your test scores is one way of demonstrating our commitment to providing you an exceptional, personalized educational experience.

Students applying to Lake Erie College are not required to submit ACT or SAT scores, as these are entirely optional for the admission process. Additional optional materials include a personal essay and letters of recommendation.

Please contact us with any questions regarding the admission process at 1.855.GO.STORM, or admission@lec.eduadmission@lec.edu.
