In the St. John's admission process, every effort is made to accommodate qualified applicants who are siblings of currently enrolled students, children of alumni, or children of faculty and staff. However, admission decisions are based primarily upon the composite qualifications of the individual candidate, space available, and gender balancing. Admission preference is given to community applicants if all other qualifications are equal.
