The next step in the process is the entrance exam. Admissions staff stressed to all the students that the tests are mostly for placement and are not meant to be dreaded. Students that may not show as favorably in one area may excel in another. We get to know the applicants as people, not as scores. The next event in the process is the 8th Grade Parties.
Current families serve as hosts to as many as twenty applicants and their parents.
Current students are in attendance at each home to cover those issues of interest to new students. As the final part of the application process, students and their parents meet one on one with a faculty member in an interview. This will take place the evenings of March 6th, 8th, 12th, and 14th. After the interviews are finished, decision letters are scheduled to go out no later than Friday, March 30th. I ve heard from many past students how much of an impact a few extra seconds put into a personal note can have on an entering freshman.
