Students should pursue a strong college preparatory program that includes four units of English, mathematics, social studies, and foreign language, as well as four units of a lab science. Such a program provides a solid foundation for high quality college work, as well as a stronger application in a highly selective admission process. Also they must hold a minimum TOEFL score of 600 on the paper-based test, and 250 on the computer-based test. Students applying from British systems must be enrolled in an ‘A’ level program to be considered.
