* SAT or ACT scores: While test-optional, submitting scores can strengthen an application. However, Appalachian State has moved toward a test-optional policy, meaning submitting scores is not required.
* High school GPA and coursework: This is a major factor in their admissions decisions. They look at the rigor of your high school courses as well as your grades.
* High school transcript: A complete transcript showing all completed coursework is required.
In short, there's no single "test" you *have* to take, but submitting SAT/ACT scores can be beneficial to your application, though it's not mandatory. Check Appalachian State's official admissions website for the most up-to-date and precise information on their admission requirements.
