· Believe a high school GPA doesn’t define them and are ready to prove it.
· Want to attend a leading university for the best value.
· Haven’t taken a standardized English exam yet, or want to demonstrate their English ability beyond a test result.
· Want to save time and not wait for the university’s next application cycle.
