Editor's notes

• Decide on test-optional before you hit submit, because you can't switch afterward. St. John's own benchmark is 1050 SAT or 23 ACT; below that, it suggests going test-optional.
• If you apply test-optional, send the extras. St. John's encourages an essay explaining the choice, a resume and two letters, and they fill the gap scores would have filled.
