A Student Interview will be scheduled by the Admissions Office. Due to limited spaces in grades 5-8, interviews are by invitation only. Invitations will be initially extended based on the applicant’s report card from the ‘21-’22 school year. We will review all materials as they are received and offer interviews on a rolling basis into January. Please note that we are unable to offer interviews until we have received and reviewed the applicant’s report card from the previous school year.

Please Note: If we need further information to extend an invitation for an interview, we may request a copy of the applicant’s 2020-2021 report card.

Please contact the admissions office if you have any questions.

*Deadline is January 12th.

We will be inviting applicants to engage in a 45-minute group activity with a member of the BC Middle School administration or faculty. Due to limited spaces in grades 5-8, not all applicants who have interviewed will receive an invitation to the group activity. Invitations will be offered through January.

Tentative Group Activity Dates:

TBD

We request copies of the applicant's full-year transcript from the ‘21-’22 school year. Please upload these documents directly to Ravenna. Parents/Guardians can submit a copy of the ‘21-’22 report card after the application has been submitted, but we cannot consider the applicant for an interview until the report card is received. 

Please Note: If the applicant attends a DOE school, please send copies of the actual report cards and not a link to the online report cards from the DOE.

Please contact admissions if you have any questions or concerns.

*Please remember that a copy of the applicant’s report card must be submitted for the applicant to be considered for an interview.

Berkeley Carroll accepts the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE), which is administered through the Educational Records Bureau (ERB) and/or the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT), though neither test is required. It is not a liability for a student to forgo testing or submitting test scores since the applicant’s file offers adequate tools for assessment. If you do choose to schedule a test, we recommend registering as early as possible since dates can fill up quickly.

Submit the Transcript and Grades Release Form for the 2022-2023 school year to the office of the applicant’s CURRENT SCHOOL. The request for an official school transcript should not be submitted until after the first marking period; we require grades for the current year. If the applicant attends a school that does not issue a report card before January 12th, 2023, please contact the Berkeley Carroll Admissions office with the expected date of the first marking period report card.

*Deadline for receipt is January 12th

The Common Teacher Evaluation Forms can be sent to your child's CURRENT teachers through Ravenna by entering each teacher’s email address. If the school requires paper forms, you have the option of printing them through Ravenna. Two recommendations are required -- one from an English teacher and one from a Math teacher. For middle school: If the instructor teaches both Math and English, they may fill out the recommendation form for students with one teacher. You are welcome to submit a recommendation from a supplemental teacher (coach, instructor, etc.) however, this is not required.

The teachers may need some time to learn about the students; please wait until after November 1st to request teacher recommendations.

*Deadline for receipt is January 12th.
