How to Apply as a Transfer Student
Our Admissions Committee is interested in knowing about you, including your academic interests and life outside of the classroom. The application is used for this purpose. Additional information-your transcripts, essays and letters of recommendation-helps them evaluate you on your own academic merits. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
Students may apply online through the
Common Application. A nonrefundable $70 processing fee (or fee waiver obtainable from your high school counselor) is
required of all applicants.
