• Results of the High School Placement Test
• Overall junior high record (academic, behavioral and attendance)
• Recommendations of junior high principal and teachers
• Quality of application (essay, involvement in school activities)

Transfer Students

All applicants for 10th, 11th and 12th grade are personally interviewed when their application file is complete. Although the timeline for transfer students' applications does not follow the same deadlines as those for freshmen, we strongly recommend that transfer applicants complete their files as soon as is feasible. Available spaces in 10th, 11th and 12th grade classes are usually filled by the beginning of May.

Applicants for 10th grade who have not taken the HSPT must do so. Applicants for 11th and 12th grades must submit their 10th and 11th grade PSAT and SAT results.
