Q: What does Test-Optional Policy mean?
A: This policy was designed for students who have demonstrated strong abilities in the classroom and who do not believe their standardized test scores accurately reflect their abilities.
Q: How do I indicate that I would like to apply with this option?
A: Each school that participates in the Test-Optional Policy may have a different application and/or process to follow. Also, dates may vary for this application and other information (supplemental materials) may be required. ALWAYS contact ADMISSIONS for verification on what needs to be done. * Some schools will not let you reverse this option once you apply. BE CAREFUL, DO YOUR RESEARCH!
