Tests SAT / ACTWhen applying for admission to Princeton, you must submit official scores for either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT (with Writing, where available). All applicants must also take two SAT Subject Tests.

Applicants who intend to pursue a B.S.E. degree should take one SAT Subject Test in either physics or chemistry and one SAT Subject Test in mathematics (Level I or II).If you choose to take more than two subject tests, we will consider all your scores, giving the greatest weight to your two strongest scores.

Score ChoiceApplicants are welcome to use the score choice option for standardized test score submission.

Tests SAT / ACTApplicants must submit the results of the SAT or ACT (with writing) and two SAT Subject Tests even if they are submitting the results of their school leaving exams. For Early Action candidates, the October ACT and the November SAT administrations are the final testing dates available. The December ACT and the January SAT administrations are the final testing dates for Regular Action candidates.

Students should not submit two Subject Tests in mathematics to meet the requirement. Candidates whose first language is not English should not use a Subject Test in their first language as one of their two required Subject Tests. All students are encouraged to submit any additional Subject Tests (which may include one in a student’s first language), Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test results.Applicants must designate Harvard as a recipient of their test scores. Testing agencies will not release results directly to the Admissions Office unless an applicant gives permission to do so. The SAT code number is 3434; the ACT code number is 1840.Students who live in a country where the SAT or ACT is not offered are the ONLY applicants who are exempt from these standardized tests.

Are there minimum required SAT, ACT or Subject Testscores?Harvard does not have required minimum scores; however, the majority of students admitted to the College score between 650 to 800 on each section of the SAT as well as on the SAT Subject Tests. We regard test results as helpful indicators of academic ability and achievement when considered thoughtfully among many other factors. The Admissions Committee understands that international students may not be as familiar with the SAT and ACT formats as American citizens. Nevertheless, international students who distinguish themselves for admission often present the Committee with exceptionally strong standardized testing by any measure.http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/international/faq.html

TOEFL / IELTSA strong knowledge of English is essential for successful study at Harvard, including the ability to understand and express thoughts quickly and clearly. The SAT II English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT) is not acceptable as one of the two required SAT Subject Tests. Students are not required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Test (IELTS) but we welcome the submission of your score if you have taken either.http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/international/tests.html

subjects (preferably in the final two years of secondary school) most often provide the most valuable testimony. Whenever possible, teachers should tell us about a candidate's significant non-academic interests and personal qualities as well as academic potential.Should students send supplementary recommendations?While we can make careful evaluations with only the required recommendations, we are happy to read helpful letters from people directly familiar with an applicant’s life outside the classroom.

Tests Required Tests (all candidates)Standardized tests are required for admission according to the following guidelines; all test scores must be submitted directly to Columbia by the testing agency. Applicants may choose to take either the SAT and two Subject Tests or the ACT.Please see details below.1) Applicants to The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science who are not providing ACT scores must submit scores on the SAT Subject Tests in Math and in either Biology, Chemistry or Physics. Applicants to Columbia College must submit two SAT Subject Tests of their choice.

2) If you have a specific area of academic interest, we recommend submitting a subject test in that area of interest if one is available.3) The SAT Subject Test in a foreign language is meant to demonstrate your achievement in a language that you have learned in school. You should recognize that if you have native fluency in a language, an SAT Subject Test can be put to better use by showcasing a different academic talent.

Columbia’s Testing Policy for Score ChoiceApplicants may select the Score Choice option for the SAT or choose to submit specific ACT composite scores. However, it should be noted that the application review process for Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals who cannot be defined by any single factor to determine their suitability for admission. When evaluating applicants, we consider only the highest testing results reported from individual sections of the SAT and the two highest required SAT Subject Tests or the highest Composite on the ACT. We are always seeking to give students the greatest opportunity to showcase their academic talents and hoping

http://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/apply/writing-supplement

to make the testing experience as stress-free as possible. We encourage applicants to take those examinations no more than twice, but we do not penalize applicants for exceeding that recommendation.http://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/apply/first-year/testing

Applicants must self-report and submit all SAT scores and all ACT scores . Applicants may not use the College Board's Score Choice feature or "hide" any scores with either testing agency. The only exceptions are tests taken for the purpose of talent programs in middle or junior high school (for example, Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and Duke University's Talent Identification Program). These test scores do not have to be sent to Stanford.

1.Winston Churchill believed "a joke is a very serious thing."

2.In a famous quote by José Ortega y Gasset, the Spanish philosopher proclaims, "Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia" (1914). José Quintans, master of the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division at the University of Chicago, sees it another way: "Yo soy yo y mi microbioma" (2012).You are you and your..?Inspired by Maria Viteri, Class of 2016

4.The mantis shrimp can perceive both polarized light and multispectral images; they have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom. Human eyes have color receptors for three colors (red, green, and blue); the mantis shrimp has receptors for sixteen types of color, enabling them to see a spectrum far beyond the capacity of the human brain.Seriously, how cool is the mantis shrimp: mantisshrimp.uchicago.eduWhat might they be able to see that we cannot?

Tests SAT / ACTUniversity of Chicago requires an ACT or SAT Reasoning score. UChicago’s SAT code is 1832; the ACT code is 1152. We do not require any SAT Subject Tests. While we would of course like to receive your scores before the appropriate deadline, for the Early Action deadline, we will accept November SAT scores and October ACT scores and for the Regular Decision deadline, we will accept January SAT scores and February ACT scores. If you choose to submit ACT scores, we do not require the optional essay component.We understand that access to the SAT and ACT is not available in all countries (specifically, China). While we hope that you will make your best effort to take one of these tests if you can, we will give full consideration to the applications without an ACT or SAT score from students in these countries.

TOEFL / IELTSCompetence in English must be demonstrated in order to qualify for admission. All international applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Pearson Test of English (PTE). Our TOEFL and College Board code is 1832. If you are taking the IELTS, request the scores to be sent to the admissions office. Reports of other tests are usually not accepted. The University of Chicago only admits students who have demonstrated a superior level of English language competence: we strongly recommend a score of 100 or higher on the Internet Based TOEFL or 600 or higher on the Paper Based TOEFL. Minimum required scores in the IELTS are an overall score of 7, with sub scores of 7 each. The minimum acceptable score on the PTE is 70.The only exceptions are for applicants who for two or more years have attended a high school where the primary language of instruction is English in a country where English is one of the official languages (England, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, or Pakistan, for example). UChicago does not offer an ESL program for admitted students.https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/apply/applicants/international/

We do this in order to consider all applicants in their best light.For example, if you take the SAT Reasoning Test in 11th grade and score 750 math, 700 critical reading and 650 writing, and then take the SAT again in 12th grade and score 700 math, 650 critical reading and 700 writing, only your best scores from each sitting (i.e. 750 math, 700 critical reading and 700 writing) are used in our admissions calculations.Students are free to use the College Board's Score Choice option and the ACT's option to submit the scores of your choice.

Testing Deadlines and Reporting ScoresIn order to apply for freshman admission, you must take the required tests on or before the November test date for Early Action or the January test date for Regular Action. These are the latest scores that will reach the Admissions Committee in time for review. Your scores must be reported to us officially from the testing agency; scores you list on your application and scores appearing on your school transcript will not be considered official.Please allow plenty of time for your scores to arrive at MIT. It takes at least 4 to 6 weeks for us to receive SAT scores. We recommend that you list MIT as a school to receive your scores when you take the test. If you are an Early Action applicant, and you take the November test, or if you take the January test, you must list MIT as a school to receive your scores or we will not receive them in time for our review.It is important that you register for tests with the same name as you have indicated on your application or MyMIT account.

Q: What is the required TOEFL score Penn would expect from an applicant?On the TOEFL-iBT exam (Internet-Based Test), competitive applicants tend to have a composite score of 100 and above (the exam is scaled from 0-120, with 120 being a perfect score) with demonstrated consistency on each section of the exam (reading, listening, speaking, and writing). On the Paper- Based TOEFL, Penn tends to admit students with a score of 600 and above (the exam is scaled from 310 to 677, with 677 being a perfect score).Q:Will you accept the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) instead of the TOEFL?If you are only able to take the IELTS examination, you should submit the results with your application, but we strongly encourage applicants to take the TOEFL examination when possible.http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/apply/international-applicants/faq

Recommendation Letters & Additional FormsPenn requires two letters of recommendation from academic teachers, which allows the Office of Admissions to understand a student's presence and impact in the classroom and school community. If an applicant would like to submit another letter of recommendation beyond this requirement, we strongly recommend that it is not from another academic teacher. Examples of an appropriate recommender include an athletic coach, an internship or research supervisor, a boss at a part-time job, or a local clergy member. These additional recommendations are only helpful if the recommender knows the student personally and can write specifically about him or her. Letters from family members or close family friends traditionally do not provide information that is helpful to the evaluation process. Please submit no more than one (1) additional letter of recommendation using the Common Application's

Applicants interested in an engineering major are strongly encouraged to submit scores from the Mathematics Level 2 SAT subject test and at least one science SAT subject test.

SAT Score Choice PolicyJohns Hopkins University considers your highest section scores across all SATs taken—even if they were on different test dates—in our evaluation of your application. We therefore encourage you to update your application with new test scores each time you take the SATs. This policy corresponds with the College Board’s "SAT Score—Use Practice Highest Section Scores Across Test Dates—Version 2."

TOEFL / IELTSThe TOEFL requirement is based on the linguistic background of applicants, not citizenship. TOEFL is required of all applicants who have not attended an English language school for the last five years and whose primary language is not English. Applicants who score 670 or higher on the Critical Reading section of the SAT do not have to submit TOEFL scores, but are welcome to do so. Non-native English speakers attending English language schools for the last five years are not required to submit a TOEFL score but may do so to supplement their application. IELTS will be accepted from applicants who live in countries where TOEFL is not administered. A score of 7.0 or higher on each band is expected on IELTS.Johns Hopkins prefers a score of 600 on the written test. The preferred sub-scores for the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) are 26 (Reading), 26 (Listening), 22 (Writing), and 25 (Speaking) A score of 670 or higher on the Critical Reading section of the SAT Reasoning Test waives the TOEFL requirement for all students.http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/exams/

Chemistry / Computer Science / Geology / Mathematics / Physics Major

Because you have expressed an interest in Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Mathematics or Physics, we would like to know a bit more about you. Respond to the following questions separately, and please remember to include the number corresponding to each question in your uploaded response! (500 words limit.) 1. Many applicants to college are unsure about eventual majors. What factors led you to your interest? What experiences beyond school work have broadened your interest? (Feel free to elaborate on one of your previous responses.) 2. What concept in your anticipated major were you most proud of mastering? 3. Briefly describe the course(s) you have taken relating to your chosen field.

Engineering(Limit your total response to the following 3 questions to 500 words.)1. Many applicants to college are unsure about eventual majors. What factors led you to your interest in Engineering? (Feel free to elaborate on one of your earlier responses.) 2. What experiences beyond school work have broadened your interest?3. Brown offers ABET accredited programs in Biomedical, Chemical and Biochemical, Computer, Electrical, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering. Aerospace, Environmental, and Structural Engineering can also be pursued within the six core ABET accredited disciplines. Other options include: Sc.B. Civil/Environmental Engineering, Sc.B. Engineering /Physics, A.B. Engineering. (Students entering with the Class of 2017 and beyond who seek to specialize in civil or structural engineering will also have available a new structural mechanics track within the accredited mechanical engineering that will accommodate their interests.) Since there is a common core curriculum within Engineering, students need not select a specific area until their junior year. We are curious to know, however, if any particular program within Engineering presently appeals to you. If so, please discuss that choice.

Tests SAT / ACTWe require either the SAT Reasoning Test and any two SAT Subject Testsor the ACT (with writing component). Official test results must be sent directly to Brown from either the College Board, which administers the SAT, or from the American College Testing Program, which administers the ACT. To have scores sent to Brown, you will need to provide our institutional code numbers:

For the SAT, Brown's code number is 3094

http://www.act.org/aap/

For the ACT, Brown's code number is 3800Brown will consider up to the November SAT tests for Early Decision and the January SAT test for Regular Decision. In addition, Brown will consider up to the October ACT test for Early Decision and the December ACT test for Regular Decision. However, we encourage students to have at least one set of scores in our office by the appropriate application deadline.

Early Decision applicants should complete the SAT Critical Reasoning and Subject Tests by the October test date. Results from the November administration of the SAT may be submitted and will be added to your file for consideration.Regular Decision applicants should complete all required testing by the December SAT test date and arrange for results to be sent directly to Brown on or before our January 2nd Regular Decision deadline. You are welcome to take advantage of the College Board's Score Choice option, but we will not be able to read your application until we receive a full set of official test scores. You may still submit scores from the January administration of the SAT and they will be added to your file .http://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply-brown/first-year-applicants

TOEFL / IELTSEnglish language proficiency must be achieved before you are admitted. Brown does not offer courses in English as a Second Language for its undergraduates and does not accept on a provisional basis students who are deficient in English. We highly recommend that international applicants or students whose first language is not English should take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and arrange for Brown to receive the official results. A TOEFL score of 600 or above on the written exam or 100 or above on the internet-based exam is expected in most cases. If your score on the SAT Critical Reading test is 650 or above , it is not necessary to take the TOEFL.Although an English proficiency examination is not required for admission, we highly recommend that all students whose first language is not English submit the results of the TOEFL or the IELTS. http://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply-brown/international-applicants

Recommendation Letters & Additional FormsMay I submit additional letters of recommendation?In our experience, the required counselor recommendation and two teacher recommendations provide all we need to make a thoughtful, informed admission

decision. Because additional letters tend to echo the observations we already have in hand, we do not encourage you to seek out extra letters. If, however, someone has unique knowledge of certain strengths or accomplishments that would not be addressed in the required recommendations, you are welcome to have another person write on your behalf. Keep in mind that a stack of extra letters will almost never influence an admission officer in a positive way.http://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply-brown/frequently-asked-questions

Do I need to take any of the SAT Subject Tests (SAT IIs) to apply to Washington University?Washington University does not require SAT Subject Tests (formerly SAT II: College Board Achievement Tests). However, if you do take them and submit your scores, we will only consider them if they strengthen your application.

What standardized test scores does Washington University accept?We accept the following standardized tests:

SAT Test (includes a writing test) ACT Test (with the optional writing section) ACT Test (without the writing section) We do not require the writing test if you submit ACT Scores.

We do not have a preference for either the SAT or the ACT. Test results from any of your high school years are acceptable, though we encourage senior-year testing. Consideration will only be given to the highest individual scores, whenever they occurred.Washington University considers your highest section scores across all SAT and/or ACT test dates that you submit. Final admissions decisions will be made using only your highest scores. Each time you submit scores, we will update your record with any new high scores. We strongly encourage you to submit your scores each time you take the SAT and/or ACT. Sending your scores each time you take the SAT and/or ACT can only benefit you by allowing us to consider you for all available enrollment related opportunities.http://admissions.wustl.edu/faq/Pages/ProspectiveFreshmen.aspx

TOEFL / IELTSInternational students whose first language is not English are required to submit results from either TOEFL or IELTS. Requests for waivers of this requirement will typically be granted only to applicants who have already submitted a SAT Critical Reading score of at least 600 or an ACT English score of at least 29. Requests for waivers based on other exceptional circumstances will be considered.Those who receive a waiver of the TOEFL/IELTS requirement—or those who speak

any language other than English at home—are strongly encouraged to submit results from either TOEFL or IELTS. Doing so can strengthen candidates' academic credentials and, in a highly selective admissions environment, help give weight to our advocacy of their applications.Domestic students whose first language is not English—or those who speak any language other than English at home—are strongly encouraged to submit results from either TOEFL or IELTS. Doing so can strengthen candidates' academic credentials and, in a highly selective admissions environment, help give weight to our advocacy of their applications.http://admissions.wustl.edu/apply/international/Pages/PolicyonEnglishTesting.aspx

Recommendation Letters & Additional FormsDoes it help to have extra letters of recommendation sent on an applicant’s behalf?Washington University requires information from the high school guidance counselor and one Teacher Evaluation from an academic teacher in high school with whom the student has taken a course. Extra letters are not required, but if you would like to submit additional letters, you are welcome to do so. For example, sometimes students choose to submit an extra letter of recommendation from a coach, an employer, or a member of the clergy because that person can provide unique insights that teachers may not include.http://admissions.wustl.edu/faq/Pages/ProspectiveFreshmen.aspx

1. In his 2005 inaugural address, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, challenged our community: “We at Notre Dame must have the courage to be who we are. If we are afraid to be different from

the world, how can we make a difference in the world?” When you leave Notre Dame, what is one way you will bravely face the world, stay true to your values, and make a difference large or small?

2. What is your proudest accomplishment that doesn’t appear on your résumé — an act for which you did not receive a trophy, grade, or other type of outward recognition?

3. Tell us about a time you fell in love… with an academic concept. What excited you about this idea, project, or lesson?

4. Why are you interested in attending the University of Notre Dame?5. By the end of the college application process, you will have probably written

dozens of essays and responded to a multitude of questions. Use this opportunity to try something new.

http://admissions.nd.edu/admission-and-application/supplement/(From Online Application)

Tests SAT / ACTEither the SAT or the ACT is required for application to the University of Notre Dame.If you take the SAT, our office will combine your highest Math score from any sitting and your highest Critical Reading score from any sitting. We will evaluate your score on the writing portion, but it will be looked at separately from the Math and Critical Reading score out of 1600.If you take the ACT our office will assess the highest composite score from any sitting. If you take both the SAT and ACT we will compare the scores and assess the higher of the two. Thus, it is a good idea to take both tests and to take them more than once.SAT Subject Tests, AP tests and IB tests are only used in the application process if scores enhance an application. They are also used for credit and placement in the First Year of Studies.In addition to our standard application requirements, three SAT Subject Tests, one each in History, Foreign Language, and Science, are recommended for home schooled applicants. Students may choose the exams they wish to take within these subject areas. If a home schooled student has an Advanced Placement exam in one of these subject areas, it can substitute for the SAT Subject Test. http://admissions.nd.edu/admission-and-application/prospective-first-year-students/evaluation-criteria/

Recommendation Letters & Additional FormsThe Office of Undergraduate Admissions requests two letters of evaluation from every applicant. We do not encourage additional letters of recommendation. Your guidance counselor will complete a counselor evaluation, which helps us gauge your performance in your high school environment. Usually guidance counselors will include a short personal letter of evaluation. One of your high school teachers will complete the second letter of evaluation. It will assess your performance in class as well as your character and personality. You may choose any high school teacher to write your letter of evaluation, as long as he or she has taught you in an academic subject area (math, science, English, social science, or foreign language) and knows you well.http://admissions.nd.edu/admission-and-application/prospective-first-year-students/evaluation-criteria/

Tests SAT / ACT

SAT - Georgetown's SAT code is 5244. Georgetown only considers the critical reading and math portions of the SAT, not the writing section. If an applicant takes the SAT more than once, the admissions committees will consider the highest critical reading score and the highest math score from multiple test sessions when reviewing the application.

ACT - Georgetown's ACT code is 0668. Georgetown accepts the ACT in lieu of the SAT. Applicants who take the ACT more than once will have their highest composite score considered in the evaluation process. The optional writing section on the ACT is not required, nor is the writing subscore used in the application review process.

SAT Subject Tests - It is strongly recommended that all candidates, whether they have taken the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT, submit three SAT Subject Tests scores. The scores from writing portion on the SAT Reasoning Test and the optional writing portion of the ACT will not be used in place of a

Subject Test.

Georgetown Policy on Score Choice:Georgetown University does not participate in the Score Choice option available through the College Board or the similar program through Educational Testing Service (ETS). Georgetown requires that you submit scores from all test sittings of the SAT, ACT or SAT Subject Tests. Georgetown evaluates thousands of competitive applicants each year for admission; access to your full testing profile enables the admissions committee to fully and fairly assess your individual strengths in comparison to the entire applicant pool.

TOEFLGeorgetown's TOEFL code is 5244. TOEFL is recommended for candidates studying in non-U.S. educational systems and whose native language is not English. Georgetown does not accept results from the IELTShttp://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/international/

Tests SAT / ACT

If you are currently residing or attending school in a country where the ACT Plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test is offered, you are required to take one of the tests, self-report your scores on your application and submit official test results to UC by the stated application deadlines.

We're sympathetic to the fact that students living in certain countries where these tests are not offered (e.g., the People's Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran) are challenged to fulfill this requirement. However, given the large number of applications we receive from students throughout the world, we very rarely make exceptions to the requirement.

Tufts University SupplementShort Responses (Required of all Applicants)Think outside the box as you answer the following questions. Take a risk and go somewhere unexpected. Be serious if the moment calls for it but feel comfortable being playful if that suits you, too.

1. Which aspects of Tufts’ curriculum or undergraduate experience prompt your application? In short: “Why Tufts?” (50–100 words)

2. There is a Quaker saying: “Let your life speak.” Describe the environment in which you were raised – your family, home, neighborhood or community – and how it influenced the person you are today. (200–250 words)

3. Now we’d like to know a little bit more about you. Please respond to one of the following six questions:(200-250 words)

A) “If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people,” Virginia Woolf. Respond to Woolf’s quote in the medium of your choice: prose, video (one minute), blog, digital portfolio, slam poetry... For media other than writing, please share a link (video can be submitted via YouTube but we recommend using a privacy setting) that is easily accessible.B) What makes you happy.C) Sports, science and society are filled with rules, theories and laws like the Ninth Commandment, PV=nRT, Occam’s Razor, and The Law of Diminishing Returns. Three strikes and you’re out. “I” before “E” except after “C.” Warm air rises. Pick one and explain its significance to you. D) Celebrate your nerdy side.E) The ancient Romans started it when they coined the phrase "Carpe diem." Jonathan Larson proclaimed "No day but today!" and most recently, Drake explained You Only Live Once (YOLO). Have you ever seized the day? Lived like there was no tomorrow? Or perhaps you plan to shout YOLO while jumping into something in the future. What does #YOLO mean to you?F) Boston is famous for its teams, its fans and its rivalries. Whether you are goaltending or cheering from the stands, celebrate the role sports plays in your life.

Boston College SupplementPlease select one of the questions below and write an essay of no more than400 words. This is your opportunity to reveal how you think, what you believe, what you value, and what you hope to accomplish. This is your chance to let us hear your voice.1. St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, encouraged his followers

to live their lives in the service of others. How do you plan to serve others in your future endeavors?

2. From David McCullough's recent commencement address at BC:“Facts alone are never enough. Facts rarely if ever have any soul. In writing or trying to understand history one may have all manner of 'data,' and miss the point. One can have all the facts and miss the truth. It can be like the old piano teacher's lament to her student, 'I hear all the notes, but I hear no music.”Tell us about a time you had all of the facts but missed the meaning.

3. In his novel, Let the Great World Spin, Colum McCann writes:“We seldom know what we're hearing when we hear something for the first time, but one thing is certain: we hear it as we will never hear it again. We return to the moment to experience it, I suppose, but we can never really find it, only its memory, the

faintest imprint of what it really was, what it meant.”Tell us about something you heard or experienced for the first time and how the years since have affected your perception of that moment.

4. Boston College has a First-Year Convocation program that includes the reading and discussion of a common book that explores Jesuit ideals, community service and learning. If you were to select the book for your Convocation, what would you choose and why?

Tests SAT / ACT

The first option is for the applicant to complete the SAT I test and twoSAT II Subject Tests. Both are administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. For the SAT Subject Tests, students are encouraged to choose two exams in subjects they have enjoyed and highlight their particular academic strengths. For all students taking the SAT I, the two SAT II exams are also required. Boston College's Institutional SAT Testing Code is 3083.

As a second option, in place of both the SAT I and SAT II tests, applicants may take the American College Test (ACT). Boston College's Institutional ACT Testing Code is 1788. Students who choose the ACT option must also take the optional ACT Writing Examination, if offered at the testing center. In some countries, the optional ACT Writing Examination is not offered. In this case, providing the ACT without the Writing Exam would meet our requirement.

Applicants are required to take all standardized examinations no later than the December administration date of the applicant's final year of secondary study.It is the responsibility of each applicant to have test scores sent directly to Boston College from the College Entrance Examination Board or the American College Testing Program by January 1. All standardized tests are used for evaluation in the admission process, and it is the responsibility of each applicant to ensure that our office receives your test scores.

TOEFL / IELTSMinimum scores of 600 on the PBT, 250 on the CBT, or 100 on the iBT are

recommended.A strong TOEFL score will enhance the strength of an international student's application. This requirement will be waived only if a student has earned an SAT Verbal score of 600 or better.http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/admission/undergrad/international/admissionprocedures.html

New York University SupplementNYU's global network of campuses, schools, colleges, and programs, provides an unrivaled urban university experience to cultivate our students' intellectual curiosity and to help them achieve their future career goals. In evaluating your candidacy for admission, we are interested in making the best match possible with all that NYU has to offer. As a result, we are curious to learn about your academic and personal interests and how those interests relate to what we offer in the idea capitals of the world in which NYU campuses are located. Please address, in your essay response, the following: (空格可填 250-500 words)1. Given your NYU campuses of interest - whether they are your primary and alternate home campuses of interest or where you would like to study away while you are a student - where, exactly, would you like to study at NYU - and why? 2. Whether you are undecided or you have a definitive plan of study in mind, what are your academic interests and how do you plan to explore them at NYU?

You may have one or many campuses, schools, colleges, programs, and/or areas of interest, so please elaborate on your interests.(回答的部分只有一個欄位, 也就是 1 題 essay 將 item1 & 2 都包括在內) (From Online Application)

Tests SAT / ACTTo be eligible for admission, applicants are expected to submit results from one of the following testing options:

The SAT Reasoning Test; or The ACT with Writing Test; or Three SAT Subject Test scores; or Three AP exam scores; or The International Baccalaureate Diploma; or Three IB higher-level exam scores (if you are not an IB Diploma candidate);

or Results from a nationally accredited exam that is considered locally to signify

the completion of secondary education, is administered independently of the

student’s school, and has been approved by the NYU Office of Undergraduate Admissions

The NYU Code for the SAT, SAT Subject Test, AP, and TOEFL is 2562.The NYU Code for the ACT is 2838.Note: Students who submit SAT Subject Test, AP, or IB scores (for students not submitting an IB Diploma) must submit: one literature or humanities score; one math or science score; and a score from one test of the student's choice in any subject. For applicants to the Stern School of Business, one of these exams must be in mathematics.

TOEFL / IELTSEven if you are exempt from taking the TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE exam, or if you are applying to our campuses in Abu Dhabi and/or Shanghai, you may still submit your scores to demonstrate your English proficiency. You should take one of these examinations regardless of any other test scores you submit to NYU if you do not qualify for an exemption. Your TOEFL/IELTS/PTE Academic score will be used in conjunction with, not in lieu of, other required standardized testing. Please also be aware:

We do not have any minimum test score requirements, but our most competitive applicants score above 100 on the TOEFL Internet-based Test (iBT) and 7.5 or above on the IELTS. The TOEFL code for NYU undergraduate admissions is 2562.

If you want to improve your English language skills prior to applying to an undergraduate program at NYU, you are welcome to investigate the American Language Institute, housed at NYU.

All students will be further tested upon arrival at NYU. If your ability to speak and write in English is not deemed to be of a sufficiently high level to register for academic study, you will have to register for noncredit English courses that will entail additional expense and extend the time normally required to complete your degree.

Non-native English speakers taking a curriculum that is heavily focused on math and science are encouraged to submit English language test results, even if they are exempt from this requirement.

Exemption from English language proficiency testing will be given: If your native language is English; If you have been studying in a school or college/university where the language

of instruction is English for at least three years AND you submit SAT, ACT,

Official test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency. Copies of

student score reports will not be accepted. English Proficiencyo In order to meet our minimum English proficiency requirement, you must:(1) Have completed all secondary (years 9-12) and post-secondary schooling in Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, or the United States (excluding Puerto Rico). OR (2) Have scored at least 25 on the ACT English portion or 560 on the SAT I Critical Reading portion.

o If you do not meet either condition above, you must:(1) Have scored a minimum of 79 on the internet-based (ibt) Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The Colleges of Business, Engineering, and Media require a minimum total score of 100 ibt. OR Have a minimum total score of 6.5 on the IELTS with a minimum score of 6 on all four modules. For Business, Engineering, and Media, the minimum score is 7.5 total with a minimum score of 7 on all four modules. Test scores that will be used to fulfill the English proficiency requirement must

be taken within two years of the student's date of enrollment in the University. Please note that these are only the minimum requirements needed to meet

English proficiency. In many cases, the standards needed to gain admission will be much higher, so it would be to your advantage to submit all test scores demonstrating a high level of English competency, especially if you do not meet the ACT/SAT minimums.

Tests SAT / ACTThe SAT/ACT is optional for international students studying outside the U.S.and currently enrolled in a school that does not follow the American system of education. Although we do not require the SAT or ACT to be considered for admission, we encourage all students to submit scores if available.*Please note, prospective Division I student athletes must take the SAT or ACT in order to meet NCAA eligibility requirements.

The TOEFL or IELTS requirement may be waived in certain situations. The decision to waive the requirement will be based on the strength of the student's academic performance. Some examples of these include:

A first-year applicant attending a school in the U.S. or one outside the U.S. that is based on the American system of education where the language of instruction for a student's entire schooling has been English language.

A student has strong SAT critical reading and writing scores. A transfer student has studied at a college or university in the United States for

at least one full academic year and has a strong record of academic performance.

The decision to waive the standard requirement is at the discretion of the Admissions Committee. We, therefore, recommend that all students whose native language is not English take either the TOEFL or IELTS test as part of the application process.http://syr.edu/admissions/undergraduate/applytosu/requirements/international_requirements.html

Essays The college admission process is an effort to uncover the aspects of your personality and experience that fit well with the University of Maryland community. When considering your approach to the following essay questions, think deeply about your answers, making them creative and succinct. We hope that you will use this opportunity as a time for self-reflection and intellectual meditation. Please choose two of the following essay questions to answer. Each essay should be no more than 300 words. Include the question you choose at the start of each essay. The question will not be included in the essay word count. Please include both essays in a single document before uploading.

1. The University of Maryland is propelled by fearless ideas. Our fearlessness generates creativity, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit with which few can compete. What ignites your spark and makes you fearless?

2. All first-year students at the University of Maryland read one book together as part of our First Year Book program. This year’s book is The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver. Silver asks us to consider why most predictions-even by experts- are so woefully wrong. He writes: “We can never achieve perfect objectivity, rationality, or accuracy in our beliefs. Instead, we can strive to be less subjective, less irrational, and less wrong.”

Tell us about a time when your expectations and outcomes differed. How did the lesson learned inform your future decision making?

3. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” - AristotleDiversity is one of our core values at the University of Maryland.In order to provide a stellar education and foster outstanding research, we embrace the intellectual, social and cultural differences that are integral to the fabric of our community. The strength of the University is realized through the contributions of every member of our campus. Describe the parts that add up to the sum of you.

4. The I-Series is the signature program of General Education at the University of Maryland. I-Series courses are lively and contemporary courses that engage students on contemporary topics about big issues in society. They challenge students to wrestle with big questions and examine the ways different disciplines address them. If given the chance to create your own I-Series course, what would the course be titled, what material would you cover, and most importantly why you would choose it?

http://www.admissions.umd.edu/apply/FreshmanApplicationDeadlines.php

5. Write your own question and respond to it. Please be sure to tell us why you think this essay represents you well.

Activities RésuméPlease submit a resume or list of your community, arts, leadership, athletic and family involvement, work, global or research experiences, and extracurricular activities and awards in the order of interest to you.

Tests SAT / ACT

Applicants should take both exams, since we use the best composite/total score for admission and scholarship purposes. (Applicants taking the ACT must also submit the ACT Writing Test.)

Applicants should take each exam more than once, since we use the highest subscores to create the ACT composite and SAT total.

In addition to the applicant's overall composite on the ACT or total score on the SAT, the following minimum subscores are required:

o Writing - 21 on the ACT English and ACT E/W or 500 on the SAT writing

o Math - 21 on the ACT math or 500 on the SAT matho Reading - 22 on the ACT reading or 500 on the SAT critical readingo Having these minimum subscores does not guarantee admission.


The typical student admitted to the University has higher subscores.

The January SAT and February ACT are the latest tests that we will use in the admission process for applicants applying for the summer or fall term.http://admissions.fsu.edu/international/admissions/freshman.cfm

WritingThe essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice.

Tests SAT / ACTTo be eligible for admission, applicants are expected to submit results from one of the following testing options:

The SAT Reasoning Test; or The ACT with Writing Test; or Three SAT Subject Test scores; or Three AP exam scores; or The International Baccalaureate Diploma; or Three IB higher-level exam scores (if you are not an IB Diploma candidate);

or Results from a nationally accredited exam that is considered locally to signify

the completion of secondary education, is administered independently of the student’s school, and has been approved by the NYU Office of Undergraduate Admissions

The NYU Code for the SAT, SAT Subject Test, AP, and TOEFL is 2562.The NYU Code for the ACT is 2838.Note: Students who submit SAT Subject Test, AP, or IB scores (for students not submitting an IB Diploma) must submit: one literature or humanities score; one math or science score; and a score from one test of the student's choice in any subject. For


applicants to the Stern School of Business, one of these exams must be in mathematics.

TOEFL / IELTSEven if you are exempt from taking the TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE exam, or if you are applying to our campuses in Abu Dhabi and/or Shanghai, you may still submit your scores to demonstrate your English proficiency. You should take one of these examinations regardless of any other test scores you submit to NYU if you do not qualify for an exemption. Your TOEFL/IELTS/PTE Academic score will be used in conjunction with, not in lieu of, other required standardized testing. Please also be aware:

We do not have any minimum test score requirements, but our most competitive applicants score above 100 on the TOEFL Internet-based Test (iBT) and 7.5 or above on the IELTS. The TOEFL code for NYU undergraduate admissions is 2562.

If you want to improve your English language skills prior to applying to an undergraduate program at NYU, you are welcome to investigate the American Language Institute, housed at NYU.

All students will be further tested upon arrival at NYU. If your ability to speak and write in English is not deemed to be of a sufficiently high level to register for academic study, you will have to register for noncredit English courses that will entail additional expense and extend the time normally required to complete your degree.

Non-native English speakers taking a curriculum that is heavily focused on math and science are encouraged to submit English language test results, even if they are exempt from this requirement.

Exemption from English language proficiency testing will be given: If your native language is English; If you have been studying in a school or college/university where the language

of instruction is English for at least three years AND you submit SAT, ACT, AP, or IB testing; or

If your education has been completed entirely in schools/colleges/universities where the language of instruction is English.
