HAVE YOU HEARD? We're Test-Free!
What does "holistic" mean?
To support our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and because many of your personal qualities cannot be measured by standardized tests, we provide plenty of opportunities throughout the application for you to demonstrate not only your academic success, but also success in the areas of leadership, community engagement, commitment, family responsibilities, special talents, and so on. To ensure that all applicants receive a fair, equitable review and evaluation, our application review process is a thorough, personal, and complete evaluation of your application. We evaluate the "whole you"!
