Admission Tip: The Application Process

We work hard to make applying to Loomis as easy as possible. For step by step instructions, please refer to the Apply page on our website. Dean of Enrollment Lynn Petrillo and Senior Associate Director of Admission Liz Stewart have also recorded a podcast to walk you through the process. Check it out here. Please note that Loomis offers two online applications: Gateway to Prep Schools and SAO (SSAT) applications. It is fine to use either application although we do encourage international applicants to use the Gateway option if possible. The deadline for the admission application is January 15, 2018.
