Editor's notes

  • Don't trust a chatbot on this one. Florida Tech says outright that AI search summaries calling it test-optional are wrong. If you apply without an SAT, ACT or CLT score, your file isn't complete.
  • Write the essay even though it's optional. Florida Tech calls it highly recommended, along with a letter from a teacher, mentor or coach, and asks you to list academic competitions, research and problem-solving activities. An essay about something you built or figured out fits a school that describes its teaching as hands-on and project-based.
