Admission
In order to apply to Regis, a prospective student must be an 8th grade Roman Catholic male living in the Tri-State Region who has demonstrated superior academic ability. Once these criteria are met, he must fill out an application, including the composition of a short essay. Then, he must sit for Regis's own admission test. Of the approximately 1,000 students who sit for this test every year, about 250 are selected for two interviews with faculty or alumni. Finally, around 135 students are admitted to Regis High School.

Famous quotes containing the word admission:
“A completely indifferent attitude toward clothes in women seems to me to be an admission of inferiority, of perverseness, or of a lack of realization of her place in the world as a woman. Or—what is even more hopeless and pathetic—it’s an admission that she has given up, that she is beaten, and refuses longer to stand up to the world.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“There are eyes, to be sure, that give no more admission into the man than blueberries.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue, I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces others to kneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
