Below is an update from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Beginning with Spring 2021 applicants, first-time freshman
admission will be test-optional for students with an
unweighted, cumulative GPA of 2.50 or greater.
While students must have a minimum 2.0 unweighted,
cumulative GPA in order to be considered for admission, only
those with an unweighted, cumulative GPA between 2.0-2.49

consideration.
Select scholarships and departmental applications may still use the ACT/SAT score for admission consideration.
