OSSD Admissions Criteria
We admit students on a case-by-case basis, looking at their overall history to truly understand the type of applicant in consideration. Typically, we require at least a 75% average with consistent grades over the last 3 years of study. English, Math and Science tend to carry heavier weight when considering applicants. In some cases, we ask for a written essay, study plan, or interview to allow applicants to explain their academic history and what they would like to achieve at Bronte College.

Is There a Deadline to Submit My Application?
As a general guide, you should submit your application at least 3 months before the start of the semester you are applying for. This will take into account the time it takes to process student Visas, Study Permits and to ensure you have enough time to arrive before the semester begins.
How Early Should I Apply if I Want to Stay in the Dormitory?
Staying in the dormitory is a very popular preference for our international students. Students applying for the September semester with the dormitory accommodation should submit their application by early March to ensure space in the dormitory is still available. Be sure to contact our Admissions department directly to verify if space in the dormitory is open as availability varies from year to year!
What is the Application Deadline if I’m Interested in Homestay?
For students interested in homestay accommodation for the September semester, you should submit your application by mid-July.
Submit Ahead of Schedule
