The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is required of all freshmen seeking admission to Bosco Tech. Only students who have submitted an admission application are eligible to sit for our HSPT on January 16, 2027. The HSPT testing fee is included as part of our application fee.

Please indicate on your admission application if you plan on taking the HSPT at Bosco Tech. If your son or daughter is taking the HSPT at another school, please ensure that our Office of Admission receives a copy of his scores.

Transfer Students are not required to sit for the HSPT exam.

Once your admission application has been submitted, you will be contacted by a member of the admission team to schedule an interview. Both student and parent(s)/guardian(s) will meet individually with a member of the admission team.

During the interview, students will also take a short writing assessment. This will help the admission committee get a sense of the student's written communication skills and learn more about him. 

Interviews will start in late October.

Admission notifications will be released on March 5, 2027. Families will receive an email notification, in addition to an acceptance packet.
