  15. Admission Process Columbus Campus • Common Application • Rolling Admissions Timeline • Selective Admission Process • Holistic Review • Anticipate between 32,000 – 34,000 applications for Au13

  16. Holistic Application Review In addition to looking at the applicant’s class rank or G.P.A. and their standardized test scores, readers do a thorough review of the high school transcript

  17. What readers look for on a transcript • Completion of the college prep curriculum • Additional courses in math, natural sciences or foreign languages • Rigor of coursework, including accelerated, honors, AP and/or IB coursework based on what is available in the student’s school • Grades, and grade trends • Strength of senior schedule

  18. Then readers look at: • Extracurricular activities, leadership, work • Has the student overcome significant environmental issues? • Does the student bring racial/ethnic/economic diversity? Is the student first generation? • Does the student have special talents?

  19. Readers choose from these decisions: • Admit to the Columbus campus • Deny to the Columbus campus (Ohio residents will be admitted to their second choice campus) • Defer – meaning the student will be considered again during the mid-March review when all applications have been received.

  20. Decision timeline • Decisions typically begin posting in late November/early December. • Typical reviews take 10 – 12 weeks. • Some decisions happen more quickly (especially for the academically strongest students.) • Some decisions take longer than 12 weeks.
