SAT Scores are optional

This university has a test-optional policy.

Admission to HSG is extremely competitive. International applicants can either take the university's internal, challenging entrance exam or gain admission through their secondary school credentials and a high standardized test score. For US applicants, this means a High School Diploma plus an SAT score of at least 1360 or an ACT composite score of at least 29. The SAT is therefore an optional but direct admission path.

Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
