  • Domestic students may apply without submitting standardized test scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Testing (ACT) . While tests help to predict your potential for success in college, your academic performance in the classroom is the most important factor in our review of your application. We also consider qualitative factors, such as your essay, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities. 

  • Your personal statement is an opportunity to let the admissions committee know more about yourself. You may submit writing samples, a personal essay or poetry; it is up to you on how you wish to express yourself. No set length is required.
