Admission standards at Jakri College
are moderately selective. New, transfer and returning student
admission are based on a combination of academic and personal
considerations. Jakri College takes an individual, holistic
approach to the review of applications. An applicant's academic
accomplishments are a priority and are demonstrated by test
scores, grades, class rank, and exposure to a college prep
curriculum. Beyond demonstrated academic competence, we
look for other qualities such as motivation, strong academic
potential, dedication to learning, integrity, and leadership.
Admission to Jakri is not viewed as an entitlement based
on grades and tests. Our admissions process combines an
examination of academic ability with flexible assessment
of an applicant's experiences and potential
