YOUR FRESHMAN ADMISSION QUESTIONS ANSWERED

WHEN SHOULD I START LOOKING?

It's never too early! A good place to start is researching colleges that offer the program you are interested in (Undecided? No problem! Many students start off without a declared major). Once you have a few schools in mind, set aside some time to visit each of them and get familiar with their campuses.

Check out our visit options; we'd love to see you!

WHO CAN I REACH OUT TO FOR HELP?

Your counselor is there to help guide you through the college search process, including applying for financial aid. You may also want to reach out to friends or siblings who are finalizing their college search or currently in college. They’ll be able to offer helpful tips and suggestions. 

Members of our admissions staff are also available to answer any questions you may have about your application process.

WHAT DO I NEED TO APPLY?

Every college has their own requirements for applicants and may have special requirements based on particular programs.
