"Testing Optional"
For the Fall 2022 admission cycle, standardized testing will continue to be optional. Students are welcome and encouraged to submit SSAT and ISEE scores, but they are not required to do so. Burke will also continue to require our own assessment, which will be administered in January and February 2022 and does not require advanced preparation. International students are required to take a standardized test (TOEFL, SSAT, or ISEE), but should contact Burke if their access to such a test is limited.
