The Bigger Picture
You aren't a number. Your application isn't treated like one.
Every application is reviewed holistically by a diverse and experienced group of faculty, staff, and leadership to ensure equity and impartiality.
Standardized test scores are among many factors we consider when reviewing applications. Admissions Review Committee members also carefully examine high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and essays to evaluate your accomplishments, maturity, and demonstrated commitment to academics.
GSSM's Admissions Review Committee members are committed to rendering the most informed admission decisions guided by a holistic review that considers applicants' backgrounds and experiences.
Standardized Tests Strongly Recommended for the 2026 - 2027 Application Cycle
Applicants to GSSM's Residential Program may submit PSAT, Pre-ACT, SAT or ACT scores for consideration. Scores taken since January 2026 will be considered. For students who submit standardized test score reports, the Admissions Committee will consider them when reviewing an application. Test scores are but one factor reviewed for admission.
Students who complete their application by the priority deadline but do not submit test scores will be required to complete the GSSM Math Admissions Test.
Last test dates that meet the GSSM priority deadline of February 15:
- Last SAT date: December 5, 2026 (registration deadline is November 20, 2026)
- Last ACT date: December 12, 2026 (registration deadline is November 6, 2026)
