Admission Representatives

Breadcrumb

Whittier's admission counselors work with high school students even before a student has decided to apply.

Admission counselors are assigned to you based on your high school's location. While it's never too early to introduce yourself to your admission counselor, the best time to get in touch with them is in 11th grade. Your counselor can review your transcript, tell you which classes to take, and let you know if you're on the right track for admission to Whittier. 

The best way to get in touch with your personal Admission Representative is via email. If you're not sure who to reach out to, scroll the bottom of this page and fill out the short form.
