Application Fee: The fee for an online application is $100. You will see your payment options once you have completed the online application.

When you apply online, you will be directed to complete the following steps:

• Complete the preliminary application
• Respond to the Student Questionnaire and Short Answer Form online
• Request online recommendation forms from current math and English teachers
• Request online recommendation form from current Principal or counselor
• Schedule an interview

The Records Release Form is available through the online checklist once you complete the initial online admissions application.

Please print and deliver this form to your current school. Your school will send the appropriate grade records--transcripts, attendance/discipline records, report cards, and/or birth certificate--directly to Bishop Dunne.

Please note: A high school transcript is required. For mid-year transfers into 9th grade, a report card from 8th grade is required, in addition to the transcript from the first semester of high school.

If you have already taken a PSAT, SAT, or ACT exam, you are not required to sit for the ISEE. Please forward all test results to the Office of Admission.

Otherwise, you will need to take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). ISEE is offered at Bishop Dunne and several other area locations. Please sign up for the test at least 30 days prior to the test date. For more information on the test, and all available dates, visit ISEE online or contact the Office of Admission.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will not find the Bishop Dunne dates on the ISEE website. We have made all of our testing dates closed to the general public in order to reserve space for families applying to Bishop Dunne. To register for the ISEE at Bishop Dunne, please email Patty Salazar-Martel at pmartel@bdcs.org. Patty will then follow up with you to provide a code to register for the desired testing date (see below) and with additional necessary information.

The test will be offered at Bishop Dunne on these dates: December, 12, 2020; January 9, 2021; January 23, 2021; February 13, 2021; March 27, 2021; and April 24, 2021. When registering for the test, use Bishop Dunne’s ISEE school code (441785) to send your scores to us.
