When did Drew begin SAT/ACT optional admissions consideration?
Drew began SAT/ACT optional admissions consideration in September of 2005. Why did Drew make the SAT/ACT optional for admission? Drew joins a growing number of colleges and universities who have taken this step. We believe that factors other than standardized test scores can be better predictors of success in college, particularly the strength of a student’s high school program and his or her grade point average. Does this mean that Drew is going to accept less qualified students? No. Drew remains highly selective and will continue to look for a substantial high school record, including a strong grade point average.
