Application Process
Please fill out the PDF application online, then print it so that it is fully typed with the exception of the signature line. Be sure to fill out every question on the application. It is particularly important to list the student name exactly the same on the SAT/ACT registration form, or RMATS will view the error as two different students and be unable to match files. Previous Talent Search scores (i.e. SAT, ACT, and EXPLORE) can not be accepted as eligibility criteria for RMATS. Incomplete applications will be returned.
Test Selection
Only the following dates qualify a student for participation in RMATS or for consideration for Recognition Ceremonies – no exceptions can be made due to timing of score reports, despite more test date options showing up on registration forms:
| SAT | December 1 | January 26 |
| ACT | December 8 | February 9 |
| EXPLORE | January 26 | February 23 |
Test Center Locations and Codes
E-mail Information
It is also important to provide a family e-mail address that will be accessible through the Talent Search year. All RMATS info will be sent through the U.S. Postal Service. However, e-mail contact allows us to send important reminders and information in a timely manner, and the Newsletter is sent electronically. No contact information will be shared with anyone outside of CITY without your consent.
Fees
The $35 RMATS application fee is non-refundable and does not pay for the tests themselves. This fee covers the cost of postage, printing, and processing of registration, analysis of score data, the Interpretive Guide, the Summer Opportunities Guide, the Newsletter, and certificates of recognition.
Sign the application, and mail it with the following check made out to the
University of Denver (please note the student name on the info line):
| For SAT | One check for $35 (RMATS fee) You will send the SAT test fee directly to SAT. |
| For ACT | One check for $35 (RMATS fee) You will send the SAT fee directly to ACT. |
| For EXPLORE | One check for $65 (RMATS fee + $30 EXPLORE test fee) You will receive a test code selection form which must be sent back to RMATS in order to complete the registration process |
Students who qualify for the free/reduced lunch program at school are eligible for a $15 reduction of the RMATS fee. A limited number of SAT and ACT fee waivers are also available based upon date of registration. To qualify, documentation of free/reduced lunch program eligibility must accompany the RMATS application. Only one waiver can be distributed per student, even if taking multiple tests.
Deadlines
The deadlines for this application vary by chosen test and date.
The deadlines are the date by which the application must be received by CITY, not a postmarked deadline. The RMATS window of time prior to the test company deadline is due to the two-step application process. Once RMATS processes your application, SAT or ACT will send the registration packet for the test itself and you will need to get that second application in prior to their deadlines. For EXPLORE, additional time is needed not only to process applications, but to hand-register each student for the test with EXPLORE. No second application will be sent to you.
All changes or late applications must be processed through the testing company NOT through RMATS. SAT (866.756.7346); ACT (319.337.1270); EXPLORE (319.337.1369)
