Freshman Applicant Information

The Undergraduate Admissions Office begins review of Freshman applications each fall in late September for the following Fall. We encourage students to submit a complete application as early as November. The Admissions Team will return a decision on complete applications within just three weeks. We award academic scholarships at the same time.

What Makes an Application Complete

Academic Scholarships

Academic Scholarships are based on overall GPA, and SAT or ACT scores. If you take the SAT or ACT more than one time the Admissions Team will take the higher score into consideration. Scholarship decisions are mailed with Acceptance Packets in the form of a letter. Click here to find out if you qualify for an Academic Scholarship.

Art and music applicants will be eligible for art or music talent scholarships if their application and portfolio review or audition are both complete or postmarked by February 1st.
