Admission decisions for first-year students are made on the basis of several combined factors. Keep in mind that approximately two-thirds of the decision for each student is based upon the high school grade-point average (GPA). The remaining one-third of the decision is based on other factors, which may include standardized critical reading and math test scores, class rank, personal statement, and activities list.

• Final grades in all subject areas for years nine, ten, and eleven of high school
• Weighted average or class rank for students who have taken AP/Honors courses
• Required Carnegie (high school) units
• Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT)
