Holistic Review

Admission to Ӱ̳ is competitive and based on many factors. In many U.S. admission programs (especially private universities), you will hear the phrase “holistic review” often. This simply means that admission to the university is based on a large number of factors and that all of the materials you submit (classroom performance and grades earned, the curriculum you have taken, testing results, your writing and speaking abilities, your activities and interests) impact our decision to offer admission. We try to find students that we know will succeed academically and socially at Ӱ̳. Our faculty teach courses that are very discussion-based and interactive, which requires you to form opinions and share experiences. We look for evidence of those abilities in each applicant.

Testing and grades clearly help us determine your success but many other factors are considered: the major/field of study you are considering or your outside interests and activities. We want to make sure you will add to the life of our campus, join organizations, and be a productive member of our community. This is typically called your “fit” to campus, like a hand in a glove, to make sure you will enjoy success in and out of the classroom.

GCE and IGCSE A-level Results – British and Cambridge Advanced Level examinations are well established and internationally recognized. At Ӱ̳, credit is awarded for A-level examinations provided certain requirements are met. In order for students to be awarded credit, they must submit to Ӱ̳ their official A-level score results accompanied by appropriate subject descriptions. Ideally a syllabus of the courses should also be provided. Credit is awarded on a selective basis.
