I got a 31 on theOct 17 2010English
I got a 31 on the ACT and decent grades in high school.

But I think it was the 31 that did it.
ACT: 31 Female

The interview is really importantOct 06 2008Language - French/Spanish/etc.
The interview is really important. Knox wants students who are passionate about something. SAT's aren't a big deal. Just don't choke.
SAT: 1200 Female
I recommend working hard on your entrance essayMay 04 2008Archaeology
I recommend working hard on your entrance essay. I also highly recommend visiting Knox (or any school you are applying to). Test scores don't matter much, and although having a good transcript is good, Knox also (to my knowledge) has a reputation for taking in students whose academic record in high school isn't the best. But the essay, as well as faculty recommendations, will be the make or break point of your application--and a personal interview when you visit is never a bad idea either.
ACT: 31 SAT: 1310 Female
Make sure yourApr 07 2008Anthropology
Make sure your SAT scores are decent and that you were atleast a C student in high school. Your personal statement doesn't really matter in this case, so relax.

I was an excellent student in high school, howeverApr 07 2008Computer Science
I was an excellent student in high school, however after arriving at Knox I have actually forgotten and confused much of the stuff I learned in high school.
I really do not recommend any students to apply to this college, however if you are desperate to have a miserable college life then go ahead and apply. The decision committee is extremely lenient, and students with below 700 on their SATs can get in.
SAT: 1350 Male
