Please Note: Oakwood does not require the ISEE. All secondary campus applicants are asked to complete a student statement on the application. This writing sample replaces Oakwood’s requirement of the ISEE and although it will not be graded, it is nonetheless an important opportunity for students to showcase their written communication skills and their perspective on the topic.
