As part of our application process, we require all applicants invited to interview to complete a writing exercise developed by Berkeley Carroll's US English department.

We utilize a timed Online Writing Exercise hosted by the Kira Talent platform to gain deeper insights into applicants' writing abilities. This assessment provides a valuable opportunity for applicants to showcase their writing skills and ability to communicate effectively. We’re eager to see your creativity, critical thinking, and command of language.

Please Note: If the applicant qualifies for extended time, contact us at msusadmissions@berkeleycarroll.org. We will provide you with the next steps and send you a link to the appropriate writing exercise.

Submit the Transcript and Grades Release Form for the 2024-2025 school year to the office of your applicant's current school. Please note that the request for an official school transcript should not be submitted until after the first marking period, as we require grades from the current year. If the applicant’s school does not issue a report card before January 9, 2025, please contact the Berkeley Carroll Admissions Office with the expected date of the first marking period report card. If the ERB CTP (Educational Records Bureau Comprehensive Testing Program) is administered at the applicant’s school, please include the scores as part of your transcript. Be sure to request these scores from the applicant’s current school. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our admissions team.
