Admission
Admission to MGSI is limited to current high school juniors who have a sincere interest in business as a college major. Applicants should be competitive students among their high school class. They will need to provide evidence of high school academic achievement, demonstrate involvement in school and/or community activities, as well as leadership potential.
Once applications are received, they are screened and reviewed. Telephone interviews may be conducted to identify finalists, who will then complete a personal interview.
Requirements
Applying to the Martha Guy Summer Institute involves submitting an online application. Upon completion of the application, you will need to secure two evaluation forms to also be completed online; one completed by an academic reference and another by a personal reference.
The following items should be mailed together:
- Your high school transcript.
- Signed releases and signatures page. [PDF]
- Test scores. If you have taken the PSAT, SAT or ACT, please ask your counselor to add the scores to your transcript. If your school does not provide test scores on transcripts, please forward a copy of your own test report. If you have not taken any of the tests, please indicate so on your application.
