Admissions
Whether you know exactly where you're heading, or you're still planning your next steps, it all starts with a simple conversation. Let’s talk.
The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) helps colleges see how much you’ve learned and how well you will perform. It measures critical reading, writing and math skills, with a highest composite score of 2400.
The ACT (American College Testing) measures how well you’ve mastered your high school curriculum. It not only assesses how much you know, but how well you reason. It measures content-based knowledge of English, math, reading and science reasoning, with a highest composite score of 36.
Unlike some of the tests you've taken in high school, you can't cram for the SAT and the ACT. Both tests measure what you've learned over the course of many years. If you've been paying attention and keeping up with your schoolwork, you should have a good base of knowledge for these exams. Consider completing the practice tests offered by the exam providers or see if your high school offers SAT or ACT prep classes. You'll get an idea of the types of questions you'll be asked as well as how many questions you'll have to answer. And try not to stress—each test can be taken multiple times to improve your score.
Tell me a little bit about yourself—your level of education, work experience, hobbies and interests.
