Regular application ONLINE/date stamp deadline is APRIL 18TH!.
Summer Account Access and Welcome Packets
SEALED LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION AND FINANCIAL AID/MERIT APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA POSTAL MAIL.
There will be no delay in acceptance, as course placement is made by postmark date or date stamp on the online application. However, the additional documents for these applications require paper submission only.
If you have your essay, scanned score report (PDF, JPG, GIF or PNG only), and any additional documents complete for the standard application as a new student, or you are a returning student and you are ready to begin the Online Application (takes about 15 minutes), please go to:
ONLINE APPLICATION WELCOME PAGE - www.CBKsummer.org
Summer Programs Applications are evaluated as they are received on a rolling basis. Apply early since classes fill very quickly. In order to make the initial registration process as equitable as possible, we will not accept hand-delivered or faxed applications. All applications must be mailed to CBK or submitted through the ONLINE application process (not emailed or faxed) for course choice equity by postmark. Eligible students are assigned classes as fully completed applications with all payment deposits are received. If a student’s first choice class is full, he or she will be put on the waiting list, and then assigned to the second choice. The same process holds for second and third choices. Waitlisted students sometimes get into their first choices. It is important that students list only those courses in which they would accept enrollment. If all class choices listed on the application are full, a phone call will be placed to the applicant to discuss options. Again, APPLY EARLY!
SUMMER ACCOUNT ACCESS and your password will be emailed upon acceptance of the student application. This email will be sent to the parent/guardian address you provide on your application (attachments will not always go through to work email addresses due to filters—they will go to SPAM or bounce– please provide a home email). This account will allow you to complete multiple forms necessary for safety in a residential campus program as well as an opportunity to make a roommate request. Second tuition payments, lab and shuttle fees should be paid at this time. These forms must be completed no later than MAY 9TH, 2015 or a $100 late fee for processing will be assessed.
WELCOME PACKETS will be emailed as classes fill in late April and early May. Please do not call CBK to check on course assignment status. This packet will include class assignment and critical opening day information, maps, and directions. Roommate assignments will go out by email approximately one week prior to your arrival.

Portfolio Admission Process - can be ONLINE
CBK offers alternate application by portfolio for students who do not have the necessary test scores through a Talent Search. All portions of the Portfolio Admission Application must be completed and all required materials received, including the full Summer Programs Application, before portfolio admission candidates will be considered. Portfolio applications, once completed in full, will be included in the course selection process according to postmark. See Portfolio Admission Application. In this way, the portfolio review process, which takes a bit longer than the score review process, will not affect admission to specific courses that may fill quickly. Early application is highly recommended. Students are encouraged to participate in the Western Academic Talent Search to achieve qualifying scores for future summers.
