Selection Criteria

Because we believe that the small size of our program is critical to our students’ success, only the most motivated and promising applicants are admitted to RISE.  To be eligible for admission, applicants must be rising high school juniors (11th grade) and seniors (12th grade).  The minimum unweighted G.P.A. we require is 3.3.  We carefully consider each applicant’s portfolio, including his or her extra-curricular activities and short essay (see application form).  Go to APPLICATION FORM to download and submit your application.  Applicants accepted for a phone interview will be contacted within two weeks of application submission. If for some reason you cannot send your application using the link provided, please email us at apply@romaninstitute.com.  Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
