Application Instructions

First-year (freshman) applicants must submit:

  • A completed Common Application. This may be submitted online (no application fee) or via hard copy ($50 application fee).
  • School Report, Teacher Evaluation, and Mid-Year Report forms. These are all Common Application materials and may be accessed from the link above. Note that we require that the Teacher Evaluation be filled out by a teacher of an academic subject such as mathematics, English, science, etc.
  • An official high school transcript
  • SAT I or ACT (with Writing) scores

Transfer applicants must submit:

  • A completed Common Application for transfers. The transfer Common Application is similar, though not identical, to the standard first-year Common Application.
  • An official high school transcript
  • An official college transcript from each college attended previously
  • A Common Application transfer reference completed by a professor, instructor or advisor from the college attended currently or most recently. Note that the Common Application includes two choices of forms: an Instructor Evaluation and a College Official's Report. We require only one of the two and applicants may choose whichever they feel is more appropriate.
