Å·²©ÑÇÐÇ

As a result, our admission process is highly individualized - we want to see what you will bring to the Hood community! 

Requirements

• First-Year Application (essay optional)
• Official high school transcript
• Test optional (Å·²©ÑÇÐÇ does not require SAT or ACT scores for admission or scholarship consideration)

We kindly request that you only submit one application, either the Common App or Å·²©ÑÇÐÇ App, to be considered for admission to Å·²©ÑÇÐÇ. 

OR 

We would love to get to know you better! You can submit any of the following to supplement your application:

• Interview - Talking one-on-one with your admission counselor is the best way for us to learn more about you and what you will bring to the Hood community. You can register for a tour of our beautiful campus and a meeting with an admission counselor here.
• Letters of recommendation - You can submit recommendation letters from teachers, counselors, coaches, supervisors, youth leaders, scoutmasters - anybody that knows you well and will help us gain a broader understanding of who you are!
• Resume - This is your chance to brag about your accomplishments! Let us know what you've been involved in throughout your time in high school.
• Additional writing sample - Have you written something that you're really proud of? We'd love to see it!
• Online portfolio - Send us a link to your YouTube page, website, or personal portfolio.

While high school performance does comprise a large part of each student's application, we recognize that some students do not excel in traditional testing environments, so submitting standardized test scores is optional for all applicants.

Deadlines

Å·²©ÑÇÐÇ offers rolling admission. The Common Application opens on August 1 each year, and the first round of admission decisions will be mailed in mid-October. From October onward, admission decisions will be mailed within two weeks of receiving your completed application and high school transcript.

It is recommended that you apply prior to March 1; however, we will continue to evaluate applications submitted after March 1 on a space-available basis.

Students who are applying for the nursing program are subject to nursing-specific deadlines. For more information, click here.
