To get into Knox you need to show aAug 24 2016Physics
To get into Knox you need to show a willingness to grow and to contribute to the community. Showing involvement in extracurricular activities is always good. So is showing a willingness to take full advantage of what a liberal arts education has to offer. I highly suggest finding the right college for you (through visits and research).

I was involved in a fair amount ofOct 01 2012Other
I was involved in a fair amount of extracurriculars in high school, and I had a fairly high GPA. I think the best option is just to be well-rounded. That will get you much further than only having one focus.

For admission to Knox I completed the application asJan 13 2012Political Science
For admission to Knox I completed the application as well as an interview with an admissions counselor. I was an 'A' student in high school and I participated in a fair amount of extracurriculars but nothing psycho. Knox is looking for passionate students who care about their communities and their relationships with others. For anyone applying to Knox I would recommend that they check out Knox's website (www.knox.edu) for what kind of admission requirements there are. But if you have taken high school seriously and are truly motivated to succeed in college I think acceptance into Knox would not be too difficult.
ACT: 31 Female
