Test policy

Test optional Applicants may choose whether to send a score.

Drexel practices a 'No Harm' test-optional review for fall entry (scores used only if they strengthen the application); BA/BS+MD Early Assurance applicants must submit SAT or ACT. International non-native English speakers without three years of English-medium instruction need an English proficiency exam (SAT EBRW 600+/ACT English 27+ exempts).
