  Option 1: 1:1 Zoom interview with a member of the Drew community
  
  

  There is no need to prepare anything in advance. We want to get to know you and will do our best to do so using a series of questions. These 1:1 interviews are meant to be more like conversations. Please note that this option will require you to participate with your camera and microphone on. 
  
  

  Option 2: 5-minute one-way video interview
  
  

  One-way video interviews allow you to record yourself answering questions in your own time using a device of your choice: phone, tablet, laptop, etc for up to 5 minutes. We will provide you with a list of prompts/questions for you to answer as if you were on Drew’s campus sitting down with one of us. This should not be scripted, produced with music and/or graphics, and should not be perfect! We simply want to get to know the real you. 
  
  

  Once you submit the parent/guardian application and pay the fee, or complete the ABC or SMART process, someone will reach out to you with more details and how to sign up for an interview.

• Submit Recommendation Forms

  Drew requires a recommendation from your current Math teacher, English teacher, and an administrator: counselor, advisor, or Head of School/principal, etc. Please follow the instructions on Ravenna for accessing and submitting all forms. In Ravenna, you will need to provide the email addresses of your recommendation writers so they receive the forms directly from Ravenna with instructions.

• Request Your Transcript

  Complete and sign the Transcript Release Form and submit it to your current school. Complete transcripts (last year and the first semester of the current year) can be uploaded to Ravenna by your current school or emailed to Drew at admissions@drewschool.org. We will continue to accept transcripts until the end of January.

• Forget that Score!

  As a reminder, we have been test-free in admissions at Drew since 2020 which means standardized testing is not required to apply nor will test results be accepted or reviewed. You are more than a score!

• Apply for Tuition Assistance

  See the Tuition Assistance page for complete information about Drew’s Tuition Assistance (TA) program. Applications are due January 9, 2024, through Clarity.
