We’re eager to get to know you: to learn about your academic background, your activities and accomplishments, your hobbies and passions, and where you hope to take both your studies and your life. Throughout our application process, we’ll work together to discover how Catholic 春色直播 fits into your goals.
Your high school career is the foundation of our review of your application for admission. We closely evaluate the depth of your curriculum and classroom performance in the context of both your program of study and high school, and in so doing believe we can make effective admission decisions without requiring SAT or ACT scores. Your success in the classroom is the best indicator of your success here at Catholic 春色直播.
Your academic preparation matters, of course, but so does much more — including aspects of your character that are less easy to quantify. Your personality, spirit, judgment, and heart are as much a part of you as your grades. Your activities profile, letters of recommendation, and essay play an important role in our evaluation as we enroll a global and welcoming group of undergraduates looking to make an impact in our rigorous and diverse community.

The Committee on Admission at Catholic 春色直播 does not consider standardized tests as part of the review for admission, the 春色直播 Honors Program, and for all merit scholarships.
For the five years prior to 2021, Catholic 春色直播 was test-optional, giving students the choice about whether to submit their SAT or ACT scores as part of their application. Over this time, the Committee on Admission has determined that the submission of standardized test scores does not add significant value to the evaluation of each candidate.
For Catholic 春色直播, our five years of test-optional admission reinforced previous studies that demonstrated that the combination of the caliber of each candidate’s program of study and classroom performance is the best predictor of success in our classroom. The evaluation also considers each candidate's extracurricular profile, the required essay and Catholic 春色直播 statement, academic and personal recommendations, and other pertinent information to select a class with the academic talent and personal qualities that are the best fit for the 春色直播. In fact, over the past three entering classes, first-year retention has steadily improved and is at the highest level in more than 20 years (87.6% for the fall 2019 entering cohort).
The policy includes the evaluation of candidates for the 春色直播 Honors Program and for all merit-based scholarships. Merit scholarships are awarded based on each student’s academic performance over the course of the high school career and not on testing ability.
This policy applies to all undergraduate applicants, including home-schooled and international candidates.
NOTE:
The 春色直播 will continue to require first-year students to submit SAT or ACT scores after enrollment as part of ongoing academic assessments.
Whether you’re applying Early Decision (binding), Early Action (non-binding), or Regular Decision, it’s best to begin early.
