Application Process

1. Request admission information.
    
2. Complete and submit the online Preliminary Application with the application fee of $75 by Thursday, December 8, 2011. Filing the Preliminary Application online allows you secure access to check the status of the application throughout the admission process via the universityprep.org Web site, including the Upper School admission decision on February 24, 2012 and the Middle School admission decision on March 16, 2012. Alternately, you can print and mail this Preliminary Application with the $75 application fee to: Admission Office, University Prep, 8000 25th Avenue NE, Seattle, WA  98115.
   
   After we receive your Preliminary Application, you will receive information on how to schedule your child's school visit date. You will be able to choose either a morning or afternoon visit and applicants are interviewed during their campus visit. Parents are strongly encouraged to tour the school on their child's visit date.
    
3. Register your child for the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). Look here for additional ISEE information and a list of local test sites and dates. Applicants should take the ISEE by the end of January 2012.
    
4. Complete the Parent/Guardian Statement and Student Essay and e-mail them to admissionoffice@universityprep.org.
    
5. Print and sign the Request for Records form and submit it to your child's current school.
    
6. Print two Teacher Evaluation forms and forward them to your child's current English and math teachers. If your child has the same teacher for both subjects, please ask another academic teacher or last year's teacher to complete the form. Please request that they complete the forms and mail them directly to: Admission Office, University Prep, 8000 25th Avenue NE, Seattle, WA 98115 or fax them to 206.525.5320. If you prefer, you can e-mail your child's English and math teachers requesting that they complete this Word version of the Teacher Evaluation form. 

In addition to the ISEE scores, we allow schools until the end of January 2012 to submit student records/transcripts and teacher evaluations.
