The admission committee considers each part of your application equally. Without question, we seek to enroll students who show extraordinary character, independence, and good citizenship. These qualities are the hallmark of a Hotchkiss student.
Given the highly competitive nature of our admission process, the majority of new students each year have grades in the A range, excellent teacher recommendations, strong writing skills, and some sort of school or community involvement. Standardized testing is used to support the other academic materials in the application.
可见学校在选拔学生的时候参看的参数是很多的，通过学校的要求解读，可以看到标准化考试是敲门砖，同时也是你的学术能力的佐证，所以在高到一定程度以后，其实标准化考试的作用就一般了，比如托福113其实差不多了，113的托福和115的托福区别没有那么大了，更多就是其他方面了，比如SSAT的百分比等等。
