We don't have fixed minimum grades – we review academic reports over the past two years of school to understand a candidate's academic background and assess their readiness to succeed in a rigorous environment like ALA.
• We also consider leadership activities, extracurricular activities, volunteering, initiated projects, and other similar activities alongside the short essays contained in the application. If a student has consistently performed well at their previous school (even if they weren't top of their class), they have a chance of being admitted to ALA.
• The application form challenges students to reflect on how they intend to become agents of change in the future and what they have already started to do in this direction. We will ask for two full years of academic results along with the completed application form.
