Freshman Class Profile


Applications are evaluated using the self-reported courses and grades in the Common Application or courses and grades from the high school transcript. GPA itself is not a factor in the review of an application for admission. For reporting purposes, we get our middle 50% GPA range by converting grades to an unweighted, 4.0 GPA following each year’s application cycle.

 

Admission decisions are made using a holistic review process.
