Test policyStandardized test scores are not required. Applicants have the option to submit an ACT or SAT score, and if they were to do so, it could not affect their standing negatively. Applicants who opt not to include ACT or SAT scores will be required to submit a high school transcript in order to complete their application. For students whose application requires further review, additional information, such as a personal statement, may be requested.
