Since students may not be able to get the prep needed or even take the tests, they can still submit scores if you would like them to be considered.

But, for students who choose not, the University says you will not be at a disadvantage in the application review process.

For the latest information on coronavirus go to the Maryland Health Department's website or call 211. You can find all of WJZ's coverage on coronavirus in Maryland here.
