To be considered for the Program, a student must have:
- overall high school GPA of 3.5
- minimum SAT score of 1200
- exemplary academic records that show excellence in traditional in-class learning as well as strong evidence of intellectual curiosity, co-curricular interests, and leadership potential
Exceptions are occasionally made: A GPA higher than 3.5 or an SAT higher than 1200 may compensate for a score in the other area that is slightly lower than required.
