保利预科’s Test Optional Policy for the 2024-25 招生 Season

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we understand that a standardized testing requirement may present challenges for 家庭. We have a significant number of students in Poly’s community who receive support from our school in the form of a laptop, home internet hotspot, 或路由器. Equity is central to our identity and to ensure that our application process does not preclude students with similar challenges from getting a fair shot of admission into our school, we are officially test-optional this season. We support equally students who decide to submit standardized test results and those who do not.

There are plenty of things to worry about right now for students and their 家庭. Applying to school should not be one of them.
