Submitting Supplemental Documents

Before our admission team can review a student’s application, we must receive his or her high school transcripts and choice of essay or a meeting with an admissions counselor. To submit supplemental items, contact your counselor, or they may be mailed, emailed, or faxed to our office.

• two units of science (including Biology with a lab experience)
• one unit of history (U.S. History preferred)

Graduation from an accredited high school, home school, or a GED is required. A certificate of high school graduation must be submitted; a certificate of attendance is not considered acceptable for enrollment. A minimum weighted high school GPA of 2.0 is required for admission.

Test-optional Policy

Lees-McRae approaches admissions holistically, taking into consideration many factors when reviewing applicants. Students are required to submit official transcripts and engage with admission specialists throughout the enrollment process. ACT/SAT scores are not required for students who feel that these exams do not adequately represent their academic abilities.
