What Webb Institute actually reads
Colleges publish which parts of an application they weigh. It is the most useful thing they say about admissions and almost nobody reads it, because knowing that an essay is very important here and class rank is not considered changes where the work should go.

The parts of an application this school weighs most heavily.
- Grades
- Course rigor

Considered
Looked at, but not decisive on its own.

- Essay
- Work experience
Not considered
Reported as playing no part in the decision.
- Legacy
From the federal IPEDS admissions survey, 2024. It records whether Webb Institute considers each factor, but not how heavily, and it does not ask about extracurriculars, character, or demonstrated interest. Where a school publishes its Common Data Set we use that instead.
