3. Optional Elements
Queens employs a holistic review of its applicants. Unsure of what holistic means? Keep reading! It means we’re going to see you as a whole person. You are more than numbers on a page, and so we want to know YOU. Your application
essay certainly helps but who can really distill their whole life down to 600 words
or less?
Answer: Nobody. SO, what else do you think is important to share with us that helps us see you fully?
Read some suggestions below:
Interviews are a great way for us to get to know you and for you to get to know us.
We want to meet you and to put a face with a name. Feeling a little uncertain? Perhaps
a bit nervous? These folks are friendly and here to help you. We’re committed to having a good time in the conversation
and can’t wait to meet you. Sign up for a tour and to plan your interview.
Do you work with a teacher, school counselor, or community leader who knows you really
well? If you do, we’d love to hear from them through a letter of recommendation.
We want to take this opportunity to let you know that you are more than numbers, and
that Queens University of Charlotte is permanently an ACT and SAT test optional college.
We care deeply about what you are doing each day in your community. If you want to
take an SAT or ACT, that is completely your choice. If you do not want to take an
SAT or an ACT, that is also completely your choice. We’ll support whatever decision
you choose. Your application will be complete and fully considered whether you send
us scores or not.
If you want complete your application without test scores, make sure to select “no”
under testing plan. If you forget or change your mind later, reach out to your admission
counselor, and we can update that for you.
If you want to complete your application with test scores, send us a PDF of your score
report to admissions@queens.edu or have the testing agency send your scores directly to us using these codes:
Queens SAT code: 5560 Queens ACT code: 3148

Transcripts: If your secondary school transcripts are not in English, you must submit a certified
translation along with the original transcript.
Test Scores*: You may submit official TOEFL, IELTS or SAT, ACT results. The requirement to submit

We will also accept the newly introduced at-home version of the TOEFL iBT, utilizing
the same scoring threshold as the previous version of the exam. Learn more about testing
requirements for international undergraduate students.
