The Harvey Mudd College Office of Admission and Financial Aid announced this week that the College will extend the test-optional pilot program for an additional year to include students applying for the fall of 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that this decision will relieve some of the stress for current high school juniors as they look ahead to the application process,\u201d noted Thyra Briggs, vice president for admission and financial aid.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been pleased that testing submission and admission data from the past two years supports our reassurance to students that they won\u2019t be at a disadvantage in the admission process is they don\u2019t submit testing data,\u201d Briggs said. \u201cFor the HMC Class of 2026, 42% of students did not submit either ACT or SAT scores.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst semester grading at Harvey Mudd is on a Pass\/No Pass basis, so an additional year of the pilot will provide us with more data before we reach a final decision,\u201d Briggs said.<\/p>\n
Students applying this year who wish to have their scores considered as part of their application are still welcome to submit self-reported or official scores.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to read applications using the same holistic approach we always have, considering students in their context as we determine who will most benefit from and contribute to Harvey Mudd\u2019s collaborative community,\u201d Briggs said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
