We’ve taken the stress out of our applications
It’s free, there are no test scores, and it takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Simply submit your application, send in your transcripts, and you’re done!
We will complete a holistic review, meaning we will seek to understand a student’s academics across their different years in high school along with their cumulative GPA. Our ultimate goal is to accept students equipped to thrive at ºÚÁÏÍø. You’ll be considered for admission based on your GPA, either weighted or unweighted, so there’s no need to send us your SAT or ACT test scores.
Likewise, we don’t require an essay or references, but if your cumulative GPA is below a 3.0, we recommend submitting an academic reference with your application. The majority of students admitted to ºÚÁÏÍø enter with a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher, and the average high school GPA for first-time freshmen is 3.7 (2023-24).
Application Process
Whether you’re a first-time college student or transferring in from another school, you’ll find the application process easy to navigate, so don’t feel intimidated! In fact, we’ve provided step-by-step instructions whatever your situation:

Meet with counselors, professors and coaches. Mingle with students. You’ll get a taste of what makes this place so special – and why you’ll soon think of it as your “home away from home.”
