Early Admission Program - Full-time

Early Admission students are evaluated as college freshmen. The standard admission application is used, and the same criteria are applied during review. Please refer to Freshman Admission guidelines for a complete list of requirements.


Additional Materials Required

As with all applicants, standardized test scores as well as high school transcripts must accompany the completed application.  In the case of early admission, we recommend that the high school transcript include at least three quarters of grades from the applicant's junior year.  In addition, students are required to do the following:

  • Arrange an admission interview.
  • Submit at least three letters of recommendation, including once from the high school Guidance Counselor.
  • Submit a letter of support from the school principal or superintendent.  This letter must state that they are in agreement with this decision and assure us that a high school diploma will be granted.
