 | Acceptance to BMA is very competitive, and admission is offered only to young men and women dedicated to the highest standards of academic achievement, fitness, training and competition.
Consideration of each applicant's character and personality is an important factor in the selection of our student athletes. While most students admitted to Burke are exceptionally skilled racers, we encourage applications from some whose skiing talents are modest, but who bring exceptional academic and personal strengths to the community.
A personal interview is, in most cases, required at BMA during the ski season. If finances are limited, applicants from abroad and western states may arrange for an alternative. In any case, the admissions process includes a thorough evaluation of each applicant's abilities and potential.
Burke Mountain Academy offers equal opportunities to students without regard to their race, religion, color, sex or national origin. |
