Step #3: Submit Your Test Scores (optional)
WPI’s test-optional policy allows you to choose whether you wish submit standardized test scores with your application. On your application, indicate whether you intend to submit standardized test scores. If you intend to submit your test scores, you must register to take the SAT I or the ACT prior to the application deadline chosen and have scores sent to WPI from the testing agency. Learn more about the testing-optional process.
All applicants will receive an acknowledgement to indicate receipt of application by WPI's Office of Admissions. Please note what may be missing in order to complete your application, and you can always check your application status online.
