Decisions are made by each college and major on a rolling basis with preference given to applicants with the highest GPA, most appropriate courses for the specified college/major, and compelling essay.

Applicants denied by their first-choice major may be reviewed by their second-choice major.

Summer/fall applicants may be asked to submit spring grades before a decision is made. Frequent course drops/withdraws and unsatisfactory grades (D or F, depending on intended major) are considered in review.

Applicants should include in-progress coursework on the application and college transcript. In-progress courses listed on an official transcript could factor into admission decisions depending on the college/major.

T I P S F O R A P P LY I N G
