Flexible Testing Policy

We recognize that numbers fall short in communicating the breadth of your intelligence. In keeping with a newly adopted admission application policy, Colorado College applicants now have an expanded set of choices for meeting standardized test requirements. Students may now submit results from one of three standardized testing options:

Three Flexible Testing Options

1. The College Board SAT Reasoning Test
