Admission Options
Test Score Waived Option
Beginning with Fall 2008 admission, applicants who do NOT seek consideration for academic merit scholarships may select the Test Score Waived Option. Candidates selecting this option must submit supplemental materials:
- A graded paper from a core academic course in the junior or senior year. Examples include essays or research papers, lab reports, or work in mathematics or related fields.
- A "portfolio" reflecting the candidate's strengths, talents, or interests. This requirement is intentionally left open-ended to provide each candidate creative opportunity. Examples include written work such as poetry, slides of original artwork, multi-media presentations, scrapbooks, videos or DVDs of athletic or artistic performances. Anything that helps the Admission Committee understand the applicant's talents and interests and potential to contribute to the Rollins community.
