HSPT
The HSPT is used for early-decision and scholarship consideration. It is not required for regular admission. Early decisions will be released after 4 p.m. EST on January 21, 2027.
It is one test, taken once, on one of three Saturdays. There is no second sitting to raise the score.
Choose the Saturday your child will be rested — not the first date on the list.
Award amounts and score thresholds live on Tuition & Aid.
