We are a Test Optional School
If you feel that standardized testing is not reflective of your academic ability, you may choose not to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of the admissions process. If you choose not to submit SAT or ACT scores, you must complete an Insight Portfolio. Your Insight Portfolio will consist of three short response essays (100 words) and a recent, graded writing sample.

Read more about our test optional policy here.

Requirements
In order to review an application, the Office of Admissions requires the following items of all first-year applicants:

Application for Admission
Full Record of High School Transcripts
SAT or ACT Scores OR Insight Portfolio
One Essay or Personal Statement
One Letter of Recommendation
Resume (including but not limited to: employment, extracurricular and/or volunteer activities)

Until an applicant has submitted each of these requirements, the application will be listed as "incomplete."

First-year applicants are encouraged to submit supplemental application materials. Supplemental materials provide you the opportunity to showcase special talents, abilities, passions, and awards that may not be reflected in your personal statement or recommendation. Use supplemental materials as an opportunity to demonstrate what you will contribute to the campus community at Green Mountain College.

Supplemental materials may include:

Additional Letters of Recommendation
