我如何知道我是否应该申请可选考试?
If you are satisfied with your test scores and believe they are indicative of your academic achievement, 那么立博在线体育很乐意把它们作为你申请的一部分. If you have a strong academic record demonstrated by above average grades in challenging courses, but do not feel your test results are a good reflection of your academic performance, 你可以选择不提交.

We strongly recommend that you carefully consider your decision to apply with or without test scores. You will be asked to indicate whether or not you are applying test optional on whichever application you complete (Common App, Coalition App或中北书院 App). Once you have submitted your application, you will be unable to change to the other option.

You must choose to apply either as test optional or with your test scores. 学生 applying to 中北书院 cannot submit more than one application. 如果学生提交了一份以上的申请, 立博在线体育的系统只会识别收到的第一个申请, 录取决定将仅基于该申请.


What if my scores are sent from a testing agency or included on my transcripts? 
If your scores are sent to us from the testing agency or are included on your high school transcript, you can still apply test optional as long as you indicate that option on your application. 如果应用test optional, your test scores will not be taken into consideration as part of the application review or scholarship process.


How will 中北书院 Admission evaluate students who do not submit test scores?
Because 中北书院 has always considered applicants from a holistic point of view, 提交ACT的学生的审查程序, SAT或CLT成绩s and students who do not submit scores will be very similar. 在考虑录取申请人时, 立博在线体育会仔细评估你的整体学习成绩, 包括在学术课程中取得的成绩, 荣誉表演, 国际学士学位和大学先修课程, 以及你高中生涯的成绩趋势. 除了, 其他因素包括推荐信, 课余活动, 社区参与, 写作能力等成绩.

一般, students who are most competitive in 中北书院’s admission process have taken four years in each of the core areas (English, 数学, 自然科学与社会科学/历史). 虽然不是必需的, it is highly recommended that you take a foreign language or American Sign Language. If your high school offers advanced placement (AP) or honors courses or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, your involvement in this type of rigorous high school curriculum will reflect positively on your application. We will carefully review the strength of your high school classes and your performance in them.

虽然不是审查你的申请所必需的, we encourage test-optional applicants to submit the optional personal essay through the Common App or submit a personal statement if choosing another application. Applicants applying test optional will be reviewed separately from applicants applying with CLT, SAT或ACT成绩. Because we conduct a thorough review of your high school curriculum and grades (paying particular attention to any honors and advanced level courses you have taken) your application may take additional time to review.


How do I know if my academic record is strong enough to apply test optional?
