First-year

Applying is easy! Just follow our step-by-step guide for freshman applicants. Our admissions counselors are here to answer any questions you might have. All applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Each application for admission is reviewed individually, and the process is a competitive one. 

Our strongest candidates for admission possess a 3.2 or higher cumulative high school GPA on an unweighted, 4.0 scale, a challenging course sequence (particularly in the junior and senior years), and a well-rounded extra-curricular resume. Submission of SAT or ACT scores is not required, but, if a student chooses to submit those scores, the scores will be considered in the admissions process.
