Our application is comprehensive, and our evaluation process is highly individualized. The Dana Hall Admission Committee practices a holistic and context-based approach that considers each student’s achievements and successes in relation to their individual opportunities and challenges. We want to know who you are and what makes you tick. As we do, we'll share with you how Dana Hall can support your academic and extracurricular aspirations. When you commit to this process, you will learn so much about yourself and what truly matters to you. We look forward to getting to know you through this journey, too.
