The open house is often the first step, providing prospective students and their families with an overview of the academies, allowing them to explore program offerings and get an idea of the school’s environment before applying.
The BCA entrance exam is designed to assess a student's abilities in math, critical thinking, and writing, which are essential for success in the academies' rigorous programs.
The application process often includes a personal essay to assess the student’s interests and goals and a teacher recommendation to provide insight into their academic abilities and character.
Interviews are conducted for candidates who perform well in the entrance exam to evaluate their communication skills, interest in the program, and fit for the chosen academy.
Participating in relevant programs or gaining experience in your area of interest demonstrates your passion and commitment, which can strengthen your application.
