Source ↗ · checked Nov 3, 2026

Test-optional for fall 2027 entry. Do not superscore self-reported scores yourself. Official scores required at enrollment.

How to send scores

Self-report accepted; official scores only after admission/enrollment

Do not self-superscore. Official scores required of all students at enrollment; NCAA D1 athletes need official scores via NCAA.

School’s words: “Students sharing self-reported scores will not be required to submit official score reports unless they are admitted and choose to enroll. ... Students should not super score their own results”
