Step 5: Personal Interview and Scheduling

(January 24 - February 4, 2013)

Personal Interview - You will be contacted after receipt of the completed application and fee to schedule an interview. The interview is a required step in the application process, and it is an opportunity for Father Ryan to get to know you, your interests and anything else you feels is important for the Admissions Office to know.

Scheduling - During the interview, you will sit down with an academic advisor to discuss and plan a tentative class schedule for the upcoming school year.

Registration Fee - Completing the application requires payment of the $435 annual registration fee. This fee is non-refundable unless you are not admitted to Father Ryan High School. Payment of this fee does not guarantee admission to the school. The registration fee is used to secure a space for you, if admitted, and will also guarantee the schedule set during your interview. Please contact the Admissions Office with any questions regarding the fee.

Step 6: Decision Letters

After your file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee, a decision letter will be sent. Letters will be mailed by the end of February. Applications received after the application deadline will be considered on a rolling admissions basis.
