In past years, the Admission Liaison Officers (ALO) were given brochures and applications to send to perspective candidates for this prestigious program. This year, the Academy went to an electronic application process to save cost and make the selection process more efficient. Unfortunately, fewer students have applied as compared to past years. I'm asking for your help in identifying students who would be interested in this program. For more information and to apply, you and your student can go online at academyadmissions.com. Look in the Admissions Center tab for the Summer Seminar. This year's two sessions are: 12 - 18 June 2004 19 - 25 June 2004 To apply the student should have the following: 3.5 GPA or above (4.0 scale) One or more of the following tests.

College News 2-2-04Seniors: Most of the applications have been mailed. Take a deep breath and focus on your academics! Remember, once you have been offered admission, the fine print states that this acceptance is contingent upon your completing your academic year with the same demonstrated effort. A sudden drop in grades could put you in jeopardy of receiving the dreaded "rescind our offer" letter. Don't let that happen!.
Juniors: It is great to get started with you all. I look forward to getting to know the Class of 2005!
