How important are standardized tests in comparison to my high school transcript, extra-curricular activities etc.?
Standardized tests are helpful in predicting an individual’s initial success in college. However, test scores are not the primary concern of our admission staff. Our admission counselors give more consideration to your grades, consistency of your academic performance, and the level of difficulty of the courses you have taken in high school. The admission staff also assesses your involvement in high school – the range of activities you have chosen to be involved in and the consistency of your participation in those activities throughout high school.
