Final International Application Deadline
We will no longer accept new international applications after this date. The earlier deadline for international applications reflects the extra time it takes to receive an international admissions decision and Visa appointment wait times. The Admissions staff strongly suggest that international applicants apply as early as possible to prevent delays.
June 29, 2021
Final Application Deadline
We will no longer accept any new applications after this date. The Admissions staff strongly suggest that all applicants apply as early as possible to prevent delays.
Required First Year Admissions Documents
While the selection process is not focused on GPAs and test scores, we are only able to give an admissions decision once the required admissions documents have been received.
You can submit the documents after the application deadlines, however, you will not receive an admissions decision until after we have received your items. We recommend ordering your documents the same day or week that you submit an application to avoid delays.
What
How to submit
Official high school transcripts
Official high school transcripts are required if you are currently completing high school, or

What counts as an official transcript? An official transcript is a transcript that is EITHER signed,
dated, and mailed in a sealed envelope, has never been opened, and comes directly from your High
School OR is emailed to our team digitally by your high school with a signature and date.
Digitally: Submit to apply@makeschool.com.
We accept transcripts through electronic delivery services such as Parchment and Naviance.
By mail: They can be mailed in a signed and sealed envelope. Our mailing address is:

admissions@makeschool.com

Admissions 1:1 Phone Call
Make School may request you complete an Admissions 1:1 Phone Call. While not all students are asked to complete this step, many are.
This is a super relaxed 15-30 minute call where we can get to know you better, and
you can get to know us!
If requested to complete the Admissions 1:1 Phone Call, please book an appointment
with our staff as soon as possible. Failing to complete this step will result in a
delayed admission decision. We highly recommend completing this step as early as
possible! If none of our appointment times are available for you, please email
admissions@makeschool.com
to make arrangements to speak with staff at a different time.
Spark
Depending on your existing programming experience, you may be asked to complete Spark. Spark is an interactive coding experience designed for applicants that are newer to coding. You will learn more about Spark during the admissions process.
Transfer Credits for Dual Enrollment, Concurrent Enrollment, and A.P. and I.B. Test Scores
Every college transcript from a regionally accredited institution, credential evaluation from an international school or program, and/or A.P. and I.B. test scores will be evaluated for Transfer Credit. Any credits awarded will be reflected on a Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) and released to the student if admitted. Make School is a private program and as such we do not guarantee credits will transfer to our program.
Please note, if you have any in-progress courses at a college or university, or if you will be taking A.P. or I.B. exams this Spring, you will be required to submit a final, official transcript with all final grades and scores listed. At that time, a new TCE will be completed for any updated credit. Furthermore, if you submit A.P. and/or I.B. test scores after receiving your original TCE, you will receive a secondary TCE for those scores.
