» Admissions Criteria

The selection of candidates is made by the Admissions Committee whose decision is based on an evaluation of the qualifications of each applicant for a particular program of study. The student is notified of the action of the Committee as soon as possible after the applicant's completed file is reviewed.

Information on the New SAT and New ACT
For freshmen seeking admission to the College for Fall 2006 and Fall 2007, the College will continue to review applications based on the Critical Reading (formerly Verbal) and Mathematics scores. The Writing score will be used on an as needed basis in reviewing an applicant's academic profile. Students may decide to take the ACT test instead of the SAT test. The new Writing section is not required, but may also be used on an as needed basis in reviewing an applicant's academic profile. Over the past few years, our admitted students' average SAT score range has been between 850 and 1100 (an ACT range of 17-24).
