Step 02
When To Apply
Choosing an entry grade is an important part of your private school admissions plan. Ninth grade is a common starting point, but some students apply for tenth, eleventh, or a postgraduate year. Waiting can give you time to strengthen your candidate profile, although openings usually become more limited in later grades. Consider your readiness, goals, and application timeline before deciding when to apply.
- Maybe you want to wait a year to build your profile, that's fine.
- But keep in mind! As the grades get higher, so does the competition.
