Looking for information about which schools support the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR/SSAR)? College Kickstart can help! Several popular colleges and universities now support the?Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR), also known as the Self-Reported Student Academic Record (SSAR), which allows students to submit their courses, grades, and test results to colleges during the application process. That said, how the SRAR is used by these institutions varies. To help you navigate it all, we've enhanced the current list of participating institutions with admit rates, test score ranges and details on their polices for domestic first year applicants with direct links to the SRAR section of their admissions websites. Note that while most of the 30+ participating institutions are public universities, there are a few private universities participating in SRAR/SSAR, including New York University (NYU) which requires the SRAR.
