transcripts, and SAT/ACT/GED/TOEFL/PTE scores (if applicable)—we can make an admissions decision. We may
initially review a completed application and request additional information before making a final decision.
Students are considered on a Rolling Admissions basis; decisions begin in October for spring applications
and in January for fall applications. Applicants are notified within four to six weeks of submitting a completed
application, although we hold some applications for a second review. Decisions are made by professional
admissions staff members, who take into consideration college and high school (if applicable) grades, your
essay and other relevant information.
