Test-Optional Admission
Freshman applicants will have the choice to submit standardized test scores as part of the application process for most programs. Our admission committee will conduct a full review of each applicant’s full high school record for academic achievement over time. Other application materials will be used to determine qualities like motivation, leadership, community engagement and commitment to social justice. Please note: The accelerated 5-Year Physician Assistant and 7-Year Dental programs do not offer test-optional admission.
