Admissions
for High School Students
Admissions Process:
At Alverno, we look at each application on an individual basis.
We will review your application, read your essay, take a look at
what classes you took in high school (and of course, how you did),
and review your ACT or SAT scores. Combining all of these items,
we will determine your acceptance to Alverno College. So here are
the steps:
- Complete the application for admission and submit
it with a nonrefundable $20 application fee. If you apply on-line,
you do not have to pay the $20 application fee.
- Arrange for the Admissions Office to receive:
- Your official high school transcript (or GED
scores indicating a passing score)
- Your ACT or SAT score report
- Complete the Communication Placement Assessment
(CPA). Please call the Admissions Office at (414) 382-6100 or
(800) 933-3401 to arrange a time to take the CPA.
