What does Drew School look for in applicants?

Drew School looks for students who are academically motivated, curious, and engaged in their community. While good grades matter, they aren’t everything. The admissions team also considers leadership experience, extracurricular involvement, and personal character. They want students who love learning, take initiative, and enjoy hands-on, real-world experiences. Creativity is also highly valued, whether in the arts, sciences, or problem-solving. Your personal statement, teacher recommendations, and interview help the admissions team see who you are beyond your grades. If you’ve been involved in community service, clubs, sports, or unique projects, make sure to highlight those experiences to show how you’d contribute to Drew’s vibrant and collaborative community.
