Admission counselors review each application individually, looking for students who demonstrate strong academic ability as well as leadership, community service, creativity, talent, and enthusiasm. Counselors consider high school performance (rigor of course work, academic GPA, grade trends, and/or class rank); ACT and/or SAT scores, including the standardized writing test; and nonacademic qualifications.

Students can apply for freshman admission beginning September 15 of their senior year in high school. (Citation)
