While admission to St. Edward's is competitive, our approach to choosing great students involves far more than your GPA and test scores.
We look for the intellectual curiosity, strength of character, love of learning and passion for service that are shared by students and faculty across our campus. We ask if your desire to succeed fits an academically rigorous environment designed to broaden your worldview, ignite self-discovery, foster collaboration and cultivate your ability to lead.
We look at the kinds of contributions you have made — and could make — to the university community and the world beyond. And we consider whether you want to experience lasting, meaningful change — for yourself and others.
