Only 14 percent of applicants are accepted, making it one of the most competitive schools in the area. Regis is known for sending its graduates to top colleges and has notable alumni such as Patrick Fitzgerald and Greg Giraldo. To increase your chances of admission, it is important to meet certain criteria. Firstly, Regis is an all-boys school, so only male applicants are eligible.

Admissions decisions are usually mailed out around the same time as other Catholic high schools. Regis emphasizes the importance of utilizing opportunities and being a spiritual person. Commuting time and expenses should be considered, as Regis does not tolerate academic failure.
