Admission Requirements
Your GPA alone doesn’t tell the full story of your academic strengths and talents. That’s why we look at many factors when considering each application for admission, especially as those factors relate to your specific program. We look at subject-specific courses you’ve taken and AP credits you’ve earned, as well as awards and other achievements.
Required of all students:
- High school transcript
- A personal essay on a topic of particular meaning and interest to you that tells us who you are and speaks to your values, goals and aspirations as a student
- At least one letter of recommendation from a teacher, guidance counselor or someone who can reflect on your dedication and work ethic
- 4 years of English
- 3+ years of mathematics
- 3+ years of science
