Hey guys, I'm a junior planning to apply to Juilliard next year. I know that they are primarily focused on performance and arts, but I'm wondering if they require or consider SAT scores in their admissions process. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
Hello! Juilliard does not require SAT or ACT scores for their admissions process, as they are predominantly focused on a student's artistic talent and potential. For most programs at Juilliard, your application will consist of a pre-screening (video submission), a live audition (if invited after the pre-screening), a personal statement, letters of recommendation, high school transcripts, and a list of extracurricular activities.
Since Juilliard is a specialized performing arts school, they place a greater emphasis on your artistic abilities and accomplishments rather than traditional standardized test scores. Therefore, the pre-screening and live audition will be crucial components of your application. It's essential to prepare for these parts and showcase your talent, passion, and commitment to the art forms you're pursuing.
Best of luck with your application to Juilliard!
