RISD is test-optional for 2026 admissions — SAT or ACT scores are not required. For students who submit scores, the middle 50% range has historically fallen around 1300-1470 SAT (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing + Math). However, RISD’s admission is portfolio-driven — a strong portfolio matters far more than test scores. Korean students with strong portfolios but moderate test scores can succeed; students with excellent test scores but weak portfolios typically cannot.

Korean IB students benefit from the IB’s strong academic reputation while focusing primary attention on portfolio development. IB HL Visual Arts courses can support applications but are not required.
