Standardized Test Requirements
We require all applicants to complete the SAT or the ACT with or without Writing, and we recommend submitting two SAT Subject Tests, except in the case of financial hardship.
SAT Subject tests Requirement
While we normally require two SAT Subject Tests, you may apply without them if the cost of the tests represents a financial hardship or if you prefer to have your application considered without them. If you choose to submit Subject Tests, it is more useful to choose only one mathematics test rather than two. Similarly, if your first language is not English, a Subject Test in your first language may be less helpful.
