Use of test scores in admissions

91´«Ã½ Bloomington prefers that students share any available standardized test score as part of their application. We accept test scores from the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), American College Test (ACT), and Classic Learning Test (CLT).

Performance in the classroom, including grades earned in rigorous academic coursework, will remain the most important factor in our review. Students who choose not to submit test scores will receive full consideration for admission.

  • Scholarship impact: All students who submit a complete application for admission by the November 1 early action (non-binding) deadline will be considered for 91´«Ã½ Excellence Scholarships.
