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.

“I really am not the best student, at leastAug 06 2006Education
I really am not the best student, at least I was not before I came to Knox. My ACT score is hardly up to parr and my grades were B average. The most important part of admission I would say is the interview. If you are really serious about learning and being in a community of learners then Knox is for you.
