Fairleigh Dickinson University has historically adopted flexible, test-optional admission policies that allow prospective undergraduate applicants to choose whether or not to submit standardized test scores. For students who do choose to include standardized results as part of their comprehensive application package, the middle 50 percent composite SAT score range typically spans between 1050 and 1220. The admissions committee places primary emphasis on high school grade point averages, academic course rigor, and personal character essays.
