The $70 application fee or fee waiver

You can request a fee waiver directly through the Common Application or Coalition on Scoir. If you don’t meet the eligibility criteria on the application and need support covering the application fee, have a representative from your current high school submit our fee waiver request form.

Your standardized test scores Optional

If you choose to submit your scores, our admissions committee will consider them as additional context in our review process. You’re welcome to submit SAT, ACT, AP, IB, English language proficiency exams, or any other score you feel reflects your academic ability. Applicants aren’t at a disadvantage if they don’t submit test scores.
