We accept applications on an ongoing basis. We prefer students just entering ninth grade (eighth grade students are strongly encouraged to apply in March or April) but will consider all applications. We are not allowed to admit students who have already started their senior year in high school or those who are older than 19.

You may start your UB application online! (Student application only) or print out option(s) below.
