Application Requirements

We know that you are more than just what you do in the classroom, so we use a holistic review process to get to know the whole you when reading your application. If you are an international applicant, use the international applicant instructions.

To be considered for admission, we require:

• 91´«Ã½ Writing Supplement (please submit through the Common Application, 250-500 words, single-spaced)
  • 2024-2025 Application Cycle Prompt: 91´«Ã½ students bring their authentic selves to campus. What do you know about yourself to be true—and what in your background or experience led you to that truth?
• Official transcripts (high school grades 9-12)
• Two teacher recommendations
• School counselor recommendation
• Mid-year report
  • No mid-year report before January 15? No problem. We will still accept your application as long as the rest of your file is complete; however, we will need your mid-year report by February 15 to make a final decision.
  • If you have already graduated, we will need your final transcript.
• Early Decision Agreement (if applicable)
• Standardized test results (optional)
• Interview (optional)
• Arts supplement (optional)
  • Arts supplements in music, theater, dance, and creative writing can be submitted through the Common Application Art Supplement (SlideRoom).
• Financial Aid application (optional)
  • If you are interested in institutional, need-based financial aid, you must submit a financial aid application at the same time as your admissions application. If you do not apply for institutional financial aid at that time, you cannot apply in subsequent years.
  • A note about merit aid: All U.S. citizens and permanent residents are reviewed for merit aid at the time of application review. Undergraduate Admissions is responsible for awarding merit aid and any questions should be directed to your Admissions Officer. No additional materials are needed to be eligible for merit aid.
