Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if I need additional items for my application?

Your admission counselor will reach out to you via phone, email, and mail to let you know if the admission committee has requested additional information. You can also view all requested information on your applicant dashboard by logging back into the online application.

What is the minimum SAT or ACT score?

At Schreiner, we look at students holistically and consider students more than just a number. We do take standardized test scores into account, but for first-time freshmen we will do a qualitative evaluation of your application to assess your involvement in high school and in your community to determine your fit at Schreiner and for scholarship considerations.

What if I don’t meet the admission criteria?

First-time freshmen who do not meet the admission requirements stated above, additional documentation (such as resume, essay, short answer questions) may be requested to be sent with the student’s application to the Admission Committee for a decision. At Schreiner, we look at students holistically and will take high school and community involvement and student efforts into account when making an admission decision.
