To Get a Decision
To receive a decision on the day you visit, follow these steps:
- Apply. Apply online at least one week prior to your visit, or bring all the information you’ll need to complete an application on decision day.
- Submit Required Items. You will need to provide the following items to receive a decision the day of the event. They can be uploaded to your application one week prior to the event, or you can bring them with you that day.
- High school transcripts
- ACT/SAT scores (either on high school transcript or ACT/SAT score report)
- Transfer students only: All college transcripts. High school seniors taking college courses do not need to bring a college transcript to get a decision.
The admissions committee will review your application materials while you are touring campus. By the time you are ready to leave campus, you’ll know your decision.
Who Should Come
All visitors are welcome on a Decision Day, regardless of whether you plan to apply. This event includes all of the features of our regular weekday visits.
How and When to Register
Registration is required. Register by clicking the red button above. Complete the registration form using the student’s information and email address. If there’s more than one prospective student in your group, please register each individually, but include
any adults and other guests in the registration of only one student.
We suggest you register as soon as possible because these events often reach capacity far in advance. After you submit the registration form, confirmation materials will be emailed to both the student and parent email address (if provided) listed on the
registration form.
