Manual Admissions Information
Manual Admissions Information
Applications will be reviewed through a process that evaluates achievement test scores, attendance, extra-curricular involvement, grades, personal essays, and recommendations. Application materials will be submitted via an online platform. An audition is part of the admission process for YPAS students in addition to the completed online application and JCPS application.
During the admissions season the Admissions Team at duPont Manual receives several inquiries regarding our review process. It is designed to consider all aspects of an applicant’s record and school experience thus far and is not intended to admit applicants solely on the basis of any single criterion (grades, test scores, attendance etc.).
Therefore, we have adopted a process that ensures an accurate, comprehensive, and unbiased review process, where each application is assessed by multiple evaluators within our school community before a decision is rendered.
Application evaluators have the opportunity and responsibility to consider all the information submitted in order to admit applicants who are both academically qualified and have demonstrated their potential to contribute to and be successful students at duPont Manual High School.
