Test Optional Applicants:

In light of the disruption caused to the availability and accessibility of testing by COVID-19, we continue to adopt a flexible approach to applications from students who have been affected by SAT, AP or ACT cancellations. Should you be unable to meet our standard entry requirements, we will consider other evidence in lieu of standardised testing. You should aim to submit test scores where possible, but we will not penalise applicants who have been unable to take standardised tests.

We will require successful completion of the High School Diploma with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

Where standardised tests have not been accessible, we may be able to consider strong academic performance in AP or Honors classes as detailed on your high school transcript. All applicants will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
