The Admission Committee reviews applications and bases admission
decisions on the following factors:
• The Secondary School Record. The
applicant must be in the process of completing graduation
requirements at an accredited secondary school or must be
a graduate of an accredited secondary school. The applicant
must have successfully completed a solid college preparatory
program including English, Mathematics, natural sciences,
social sciences and foreign language.
• Standardized Tests. Official results
of the SAT or ACT must be submitted by all applicants. The
results of these tests, together with the secondary school
record, provide a better measure of the ability of a candidate
to perform college level work successfully than can be obtained
by either measure alone.
• The Counselors Evaluation Form.
This form is to be completed by the applicant’s secondary
school counselor and includes rank in class, test score
information, and an evaluation of potential for academic
success in the student’s area of interest.
• The Essay. Since each applicant
is considered individually, the Essay provides the opportunity
to present information that may assist the Admission Committee
as it evaluates the application for admission.
