Is my application binding?

Do I have to submit test scores?

No!  Gordon is Test Optional.  If you choose to submit your test scores and they improve your academic scholarship, we will use them.  If your test scores do not improve your academic scholarship we will use only your GPA.  And if you choose not to submit test scores at all, we will just use your GPA to calculate your academic scholarships.  Gordon accepts SAT (code 3417), ACT (code (1838) and Classic Learning Test (CLT).  We also accept TOEFL and Duolingo for international students.

Can I submit multiple SAT scores?

Yes. Gordon  "super scores" tests and takes the highest score from each section of the test regardless of the testing date. You can mix and match the highest section scores from numerous test dates to get your highest overall test score.

If I apply now and don’t have all my information, can I still be considered for a scholarship?

We want to consider you for all scholarship opportunities for which you qualify. There are many scholarships and various requirements. The sooner your application is complete, along with supporting materials, the sooner the Admissions committee can consider you for our full range of scholarships!
