Application Review Process:
Each counselor is responsible for managing their respective territory. This includes phone and email correspondence with guidance counselors, prospective students and families, visits to high schools, attendance at college fairs and file review.
The file review process normally takes 4-8 weeks, depending on the time of year the student applies. For a detailed explanation of our admission requirements, please visit the "Freshman Admission Requirements" page of our web site. We have also created an online checklist of required application items for students to use as they complete the application process.

Students may submit either SAT or ACT scores. We strongly recommend that students take either exam at least twice.
