Lyon College evaluates applicants based on several criteria. A high school diploma or equivalent is required, along with a competitive GPA, typically above 3.0. Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are considered but not always mandatory due to test-optional policies.
Extracurricular involvement, leadership roles, and personal essays strengthen applications. Transfer students must submit college transcripts. International applicants need proof of English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS). Financial aid eligibility depends on FAFSA submissions. The college seeks well-rounded candidates demonstrating academic potential and community engagement.
