What are the general admission requirements for Drexel University's business school as a high school applicant?

For a high school applicant, Drexel’s business school, the LeBow College of Business, uses Drexel’s general first-year admissions process. They will look most closely at your high school transcript, the rigor of your classes, your grades over time, and how well your coursework aligns with college prep expectations.

Academically, you should aim for a solid college preparatory schedule: 4 years of English, around 3 to 4 years of math, 3 years of science, 3 years of social studies, and foreign language study if available at your school. For business, strong preparation in math is especially helpful, and taking courses like Algebra II, precalculus, statistics, economics, or accounting can strengthen your profile if your school offers them.

Drexel also considers your overall GPA and the strength of your curriculum in context. There is not usually one fixed minimum GPA or test score that guarantees admission, so the goal is to show consistent academic readiness, especially in quantitative classes.

You should also expect an application essay or personal statement through the main application platform. Activities, leadership, work experience, and involvement can matter too, especially if they show initiative, teamwork, or interest in business. A resume is not always required, but meaningful extracurriculars can add value.
