Ohio Dominican takes a variety of factors into account when reviewing a student’s application for admission. Emphasis is typically placed on the student’s academic transcript, since that is usually the best indicator of academic success.
ODU’s admission requirements are established as a guideline, but each student is considered individually for their unique talents and contributions. Ohio Dominican’s Admission Committee makes admissions decisions on a rolling basis.
We encourage students to continue to challenge themselves by taking full advantage of Advanced Placement (AP) opportunities at their high school.
