Admissions Process

Using Ravenna, create a student profile. Once you have created a Ravenna account, search for "Drew School" in the directory and select "Apply" to view all steps, requirements, and events.

Exploring schools through events is an important and exciting part of the admissions experience. We know that seeing a campus and meeting members of the community is crucial for many and we also know that everyone has different schedules and commitments, that is why we are offering both in-person and virtual events this season to ensure everyone has a way of learning and experiencing the magic of Drew. 

For information on all events please visit our admissions events page.

Both the Student and Parent/Guardian Applications are due by January 6, 2022. Applications are submitted through Ravenna. A $100 application fee is due with the submission. Application fee waivers will be available upon request, don’t hesitate to reach out to andrearicherson@drewschool.org.

Students will have multiple options for interviews once families submit the parent/guardian application and pay the fee, or complete the ABC process, or the SMART application. Please note that Drew will also host an Interview Day on Sunday, January 9, 2022 (TBD in-person or virtual) for those that wish to wait to submit their application. 

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.

Complete and sign the Transcript Release Form and submit it to your current school. Complete transcripts (last year and first semester of the current year) can be scanned and uploaded to Ravenna or sent to Drew along with the Transcript Release form by January 6, 2022.

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!
