Saint Ignatius College Prep has a holistic admissions review process within which a range of application components are reviewed collectively and comprehensively. Along with the HSPT entrance exam scores, our application for admission includes: final 7th grade and first term 8th grade report cards, a record of standardized testing from 7th and/or 8th grade, student and parent applicant statements, and recommendations. 

An applicant for admission to the freshman class must be in the 8th grade.

The application becomes available to students following the administration of the HSPT.
