Test Optional Policy

This policy allows applicants to decide for themselves whether or not their SAT or ACT results accurately reflect their academic ability and potential. For candidates electing to submit them, test scores will be reviewed along with other indicators of academic ability.

Fifty-four percent of students in the most recent incoming class chose not to submit their scores.
