Test-Optional
DU决定采取可选考试政策:
At the University of Denver, we believe in a holistic review of our applicants. A full review of submitted application materials – focusing especially on the high school record – is key to knowing a student’s preparedness 和 academic abilities over time. 我们相信深入你的生活经历, 你对社区的热情和投入. Our process also recognizes the value of st和ardized tests as a piece of the review process. An ACT or SAT score can provide useful information which we will consider alongside the other required application materials.
然而, we know t在这里 are times when students may feel that an ACT or SAT score does not accurately represent their academic abilities. We also underst和 that circumstances sometimes exist that do not allow for the tests to be taken. T在这里 is sufficient evidence that st和ardized testing does not reflect the true academic capacities of some individuals. 考虑到这些和其他因素, 新MG线上电子游戏在2019年采取了可选考试政策.
This policy change aligns with our admission philosophy 和 supports DU’s vision to be a great private university dedicated to the public good. 正如名誉校长丽贝卡·肖普所说, “新MG线上电子游戏致力于开放, 公平和多样性, 这一决定加强了这一承诺. A test-optional admissions process aligns with our strategic plan, Du冲击2025, by removing barriers for those who may lack st和ardized test-prep resources but who are exceptional students.”
选择是否提交考试成绩以供考虑:
我们鼓励你参加SAT和/或ACT标准化考试. 如果你能参加ACT和/或SAT考试，并且你相信 your scores are an accurate representation of your ability, 请把他们送到我们这儿来. We will consider these scores along with all other materials in your application file – staying consistent with our holistic review process.
然而, we underst和 the unique challenges this year in terms of scheduling 和 taking the ACT 和/or SAT. If for any reason you have chosen not to take one of these tests this year, 由于取消而无法进行测试, or believe your scores don’t accurately reflect your academic abilities, 请随意选择我们的可选测试流程. We will then evaluate your application without considering this information, 同时保持一个全面的审查过程. 你的申请不会受到任何形式的处罚, 和 you will still be considered for all merit scholarships as well.
If you would like to further explore if this option could be the right fit for you, 请随时联系你的招生顾问.
