Admissions Standards
Applicants must have at least 18 high-school units. These should include: four units of English, three units of math (including Geometry and Algebra I or its equivalent), two units of science (including biology with a lab experience), and one unit of history (preferred U.S. History). Although a foreign language is not required, it is recommended. Electives should include other college preparatory classes.
All applicants are required to take either the SAT: Reasoning Test provided by the College Entrance Examination Board, or the ACT provided by the American College Testing Program. It is the student's responsibility to have official scores sent to Lees-McRae.
Any applicant twenty-one (21) or older upon enrollment is required to submit all high-school transcripts, diploma, or GED certificate as well as all college transcripts. An SAT or ACT test score is not normally required; however, in some cases the admissions committee may require the applicant to take an institutional SAT if the academic information available is insufficient.
Graduation from an accredited high-school, home
school, or GED is required, and a certificate of high-school graduation
must be submitted. A certificate of attendance is not considered
acceptable for admission. Home-schooled applicants must submit an
approved transcript, official SAT or ACT test scores, and at least two
letters of recommendation from persons other than the coordinating home
teacher.
