Test policy

Test optional Applicants may choose whether to send a score.

SAT/ACT is a completely optional component of the application; no group is required to submit scores. International students may choose whether to submit SAT/ACT but are strongly encouraged to if other external exam results (IB/AP/A levels) aren't available; TOEFL/IELTS/Duolingo strongly recommended for non-native English speakers. Page does not name an entry term. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
