Our Admissions Process
We evaluate applications and make decisions on a rolling basis. We encourage you to apply before April 15 to ensure priority class selection and avoid landing on our waitlist. (Please note that Summer 2024 we reached full dorm capacity by early-May.)
Accepted students will receive a packet of information about course selection, transportation, suggested clothing, and other matters once a deposit is received.
