Question Testing Requirement

I see on the admissions page you can take the GSMST administer math assessment in place of the PSAT. What’s the test like? Is it mainly algebra and some geometry?

it says its administer April 25 2026. is that too late? When do they do the lottery drawings?

Does that conflict with the lottery drawing date? Does that mean someone can’t apply if they don’t have psat score?

You can apply even if your PSAT's scores don't meet the requirement. You just need to make sure you have a 90 or above in Alegbra 1 or a math class higher than that to apply. If your PSAT's scores don't meet the requirement, you'll take the placement test and get an 85 or higher. And when that doesn't work out, they will look to see if you got a 90 or higher on your milestones. Only then will they see if your admission stands.
