Does San Francisco University High School do Legacy Admissions?

In recent years Legacy Admissions, the practice of giving preferential treatment during the admissions process based on familial or alumni relationships to an institution, has become incredibly contentious. Thus, San Francisco University High School takes a progressive stance on the matter of legacy when screening applicants. Applicants are considered based on their individual achievements, character, and potential. The reason for this progressive stance is to ensure that each and every individual student is given equal opportunity to access the rigorous and enriching academic program developed by UHS no matter their background. This blind admissions ensures the fostering of a diverse and inclusive student body. UHS believes in creating a community where students are admitted based on their own merits and contributions, rather than on the accomplishments of their relatives. This commitment to fairness and equity aligns with the school’s broader mission of preparing students to become thoughtful and engaged citizens in an ever-changing world.
