The Committee on Admissions stresses the following factors when considering an application:
- Secondary school record with emphasis upon the quality of the work, the appropriateness of the program, and an individual’s academic standing among his or her peers.
- Standardized test results of either the SAT of the College Board or the ACT program. For the 2022 and 2023 admissions cycles, submission of standardized testing will be at the applicant's option. No favor or disfavor is given when applicants submit or do not submit standardized test results from the SAT of the College Board or the ACT program.
- Recommendation of counselor, principal, headmaster, or teacher.
- Personal characteristics including leadership and involvement in extra-curricular activities, which would make the student a valuable member of the college community, plus evidence of interest in a liberal arts education.
