There is a test-optional policy at George Mason University, meaning students can apply to this university without a SAT or ACT score.  Under this policy, international students can choose whether to submit the scores or not. 

Although by submitting these scores, one can significantly raise their chances of getting selected at this university. A holistic review of the GMU application is conducted to review any application.

SAT cutoffs can be different for international students, but it will still vary per university of admission and ofcourse the course. International students can again refer to officially published school reports for an idea of the SAT score range.

Not all US universities have strict SAT cutoffs for admissions. Colleges will not usually explicitly mention them per se. Rather most of them in their school reports mentioning SAT score range of the admitted students in the previous year. So this can be referred to for reference when applying for admissions in the USA.

No, College Boars does not set or announce any SAT cutoff or benchmark scores. The College Board is only responsible for administering the SAT exam. Students can just apply for admissions based on their SAT scores, the universities set a benchmark or release (or may be not release) the SAT cutoffs for reference.

Murray State University is test-optional and doesn't mandatorily require ACT or SAT scores for admission at the undergraduate level from international students. However, students can choose to submit the scores, as it enhances the profile. The university considers other factors in the application, such as successful completion of high school and English language proficiency scores.

As part of the Pace University eligibility requirement, international students are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores as this university is test-optional for students. Although submitting SAT or ACT scores can prove to be beneficial as it may strengthen the application, especially for competitive programs. 

International students are advised to focus on other important aspects of the application, such as GPA, letters of recommendation, personal essays, and English proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL with minimum score requirements.

Yes, the University of Texas at Austin requires ACT and SAT scores for admission of undergraduate students from Fall 2025. The university stopped requiring the standardized test scores momentarily due to the pandemic, but starting the Fall 2025 semester, applicants will again need to submit their standardized test scores as a mandatory admission requirement. The university also considers other factors such as academic requirements and proof of English Language proficiency. Submission of admission-related documents is also mandatory as part of the application process.
