Application Requirements

We know that you are more than just what you do in the classroom, so we use a holistic review process to get to know the whole you when reading your application.

To be considered for admission, we require:

• ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø Writing Supplement (please submit through the Common Application, 250-500 words, single-spaced)
  • 2024-2025 Application Cycle Prompt: ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø students bring their authentic selves to campus. What do you know about yourself to be true—and what in your background or experience led you to that truth?
• Official transcripts
  • We require transcripts for each year of secondary school (a transcript is a summary of your grades or internal marks given by your school for each course). We require official copies of school leaving exam results and certificates if a student has completed an international program such as the IB, A-Level, or another national curriculum. Please note: all transcripts must be submitted by a counselor or another school official, a student cannot send these documents to the College directly.
• Two teacher recommendations
• School counselor recommendation
• English proficiency test results
• Mid-year report (for students who are currently in their final year of secondary school)
  • No mid-year report before January 15? No problem. We will still accept your application as long as the rest of your file is complete; however, we will need your mid-year report by February 15 to make a final decision.
  • If you have already completed secondary school, you do not need to submit a mid-year report.
• Early Decision Agreement (if applicable)
• Standardized test results (optional)
• Interview (optional)
  • Because of the volume of requests, ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø cannot accommodate alumnae/i or virtual interviews in China. As an alternative, you may arrange an interview with . We realize there is a cost for this service. While interviews are strongly encouraged, they are not required. Interviews must be completed by the deadline under which you are applying.
• Arts supplement (optional)
  • Arts supplements in music, theater, dance, and creative writing can be submitted through the Common Application Art Supplement (SlideRoom).
• Financial Aid application (optional)
  • If you are interested in institutional, need-based financial aid, you must submit a financial aid application at the same time as your admissions application. If you do not apply for institutional financial aid at that time, you cannot apply in subsequent years.
  • Merit aid is not available for non-U.S. citizens.
