April 1 is the final deadline to submit an application for fall 2026 (see all dates and deadlines).
Who should apply as a first-year student?
Apply as a first-year student if all of these are true for you:
- You're still in high school or you've already finished and earned your diploma (or GED).
- You haven’t enrolled in a college or university after finishing high school. If you've taken college classes while in high school, like dual enrollment or early college, you should still apply as a first-year student.
- You’re a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (Green Card holder). If you’re not, you should apply as an international student instead.
Before you apply
Review admission criteria, dates and deadlines, SAT and ACT information and a checklist of everything we'll need from you.
