“Standardized test scores have less and less weight each year in our traditional admission process,” says Flagel. “All applicants need to clearly demonstrate their talent through their curriculum strength, academic achievements and extra-curricular experiences, regardless of whether they elect to have test scores considered.”
Students seeking admission to the University Honors Program and Scholars Program, as well as those who are planning to major in engineering, must submit tests scores. Home-schooled students also are not covered under the new policy.
