3. Schedule the Online Interview
Schedule the online student interview by choosing one of the available days and times, as shown in the Ravenna account. Students are interviewed online for half an hour, and parents are not interviewed separately as part of the application process, though students can decide whether the parents join the interview. Some applicants will also take a half-hour math test, as described below in Step 5, Take an Admission Test.
4. Request School Reports
5. Take an Admission Test
For students in the United States or Canada: All applicants must take the ISEE or SSAT, and they can do that at a Prometric testing center, at certain schools, or at home. For students applying in the regular application season (with applications due by 15 November 2020), we recommend that they take the test by the beginning of January 2021 in order for the test results to reach us by mid-January.
For students in other countries: All applicants should try to take the ISEE or SSAT, and they can do that in a Prometric testing center. (Only rarely can students take either test in a school, and the tests only occasionally can be taken at home by applicants outside the United States and Canada.) For students applying in the regular application season (with applications due by 15 November 2020), we recommend that they take the test by the beginning of January 2021 in order for the test results to reach us by mid-January. If applicants cannot find a nearby Prometric testing center and cannot take an admission test at home, then they should submit an essay written during the current school year for English class, with the teacher's comments and grade; this essay will take the place of the English part of a standardized admission test. In place of the math part of the admission test, we'll give our own math test following the interview, and the interview and math test will together take an hour and a half.
6. Receive the Admission Decision
For 5th to 8th grade applicants: For students who apply by 15 November 2020, our admissions decisions will be sent to families on Tuesday, 9 February 2021.
For 9th to 12th grade applicants: For students who apply by 15 November 2020, our admissions decisions will be sent to families on Friday, 26 February 2021.
