º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ

Since 1969, we've been selecting the right applicants for º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ, using only the materials that we require of you: your transcripts, your writing, and how your teachers talk about you.

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.

Score Suppression

Applicants indicate on their applications whether they would like º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ to review their standardized test results. Applicants also have the option to select some test types and not others for review (for example, a student might choose to use their SAT scores, but not their ACT). Applicants have until the application deadline to suppress their scores.

• For applicants using the , these questions are located in the º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ-specific questions section of the Common App.
• For applicants using the application, these questions are located on a º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ-specific form available in your Application Portal after submitting your Scoir application.
• For applicants using the QuestBridge Application, these questions are located on a º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ-specific form available in your Application Portal after submitting your QB application.

Superscoring

º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ will "superscore" the SAT. Meaning, the admissions committee will consider the highest Critical Reading and Math scores submitted by an applicant, irrespective of test date or format.

º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ also superscores the ACT. The admissions committee will consider the highest submitted Composite score and subsection scores, and will also recalculate a new Composite score from subsection scores earned on different test dates.

Score Reports

For students submitting standardized test scores, we will accept scores that are self-reported on the student’s application, reported by the testing agency, or submitted through the self-report form found in the . We accept self-reported scores for all applicants.

º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ will verify scores for all enrolling students. Discrepancies between self-reported and official scores may jeopardize a student’s place at º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ.

We will accept scores reported on a school transcript or sent to our office by a school counselor or CBO advisor as official. Official score reports may be sent to our office by email, fax, mail, or directly from the testing agency. Our testing codes are: 3089 (College Board) and 1636 (ACT).
