Step-by-step application checklist (what you must do)
1. Fill out the 2025 student application and write the brief personal essay.
2. At the end of the application, use the interview scheduling link to pick a phone/Zoom interview time. An interview is required.
3. Ask one school representative (principal, assistant principal, counselor, or an English/math teacher) to complete the online recommendation form. Make sure they receive the link and submit it before the March 10 deadline.

A quick tip from a teacher: start early. Ask your recommender well before the deadline, and schedule your interview right after you submit the application so you don’t miss any slots.
If you meet the eligibility above and want to apply, begin the application now so you have time to secure the recommendation and interview.
