A. ·èÂíÐãÊÓƵ believes that many indicators are predictive of a student's ability to succeed in college, including the four-year academic record, GPA, strength of the curriculum, and overall rank in class (if available). Recommendations, the personal statement, co-curricular activities, leadership, community service, and a personal interview help to complete the profile. We chose to make the SAT optional because after much research, we found that the SAT is not always the best indicator of a student's academic preparedness. We decided that it should be the personal decision of each student to determine whether the SAT/ACT score or a test option decision more accurately portrays the student's ability to succeed in college.

A. Upon acceptance. The Scholarship amount is sent along with the acceptance letter.

A. No. A student can only choose to submit one of the options with his/her application. Once a student decides which he/she will be submitting, the decision cannot be reversed. There is a space on the application where a student indicates which option he/she will be selecting.

A. No. Each application is reviewed individually with all of the components taken into consideration. The test optional replaces the SAT/ACT requirement and holds just as much weight in the admission decision.

A. No. ·èÂíÐãÊÓƵ's selective nature will remain untarnished because admission is still determined based upon the entire profile of a student.

A. The paper application has a $30 fee associated with it; however, applying online is free. Our support staff will notify your office when we receive an online application so that you may send us the student's official transcript, Guidance Counselor School Report Form, and graded paper if that option is chosen. If a student chooses to submit SAT/ACT scores, we will consider them official if they are on a student's official high school transcript.

A. ·èÂíÐãÊÓƵ evaluates students for admission based on their entire application, taking into consideration all areas from GPA to extracurricular activities. Therefore, we do not have a cut and dry score or GPA by which we will deny a student acceptance. However, any student who falls below a 2.8 GPA or has less than a 450 in any section on the SAT will have their application extensively reviewed by our Admissions Committee to determine the admissions decision.

A. Our average student has a 3.5 GPA and an average SAT of 1140.
