You may apply for the fall or spring semester on a full-time or part-time basis. Applications are reviewed and admission decisions are made throughout the year once all required credentials have been submitted.

Each candidate for admission is assessed individually. Qualities such as seriousness of purpose, leadership, social responsibility, motivation, breadth and depth of interests, academic achievement, life experience and extra-curricular activities are considered in the admissions process. The Admissions Committee will give particular attention to your personal essay, teacher and guidance counselor recommendations and evidence of involvement in community and co-curricular activities.

You are encouraged to visit Pine Manor’s campus for a personal interview as information shared during this time is helpful in the admissions process. To schedule a visit, call 617-731-7104.
