Academic and Application Requirements
Students should be in good academic standing and taking classes that are challenging. Your transcript should include a nice distribution of courses, in true liberal arts style.
We expect the application, recommendations from counselors and teachers, your admission essay, and an interview with a member of our Admission staff to give us the rest of the story about who you are and what you value.
ACT/SAT Policy
Due to ongoing standardized testing disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic we encourage students to apply test-optional. We do not encourage a student to risk their health and safety in order to take the SAT or ACT for admission or scholarship consideration.
