Application information

First-year

First year students, we can't wait to learn more about you. Wilmington College is on rolling admission and will review your application and associated completion documents upon submission. First year students must submit their high school transcript for review and have the option to submit standardized test scores for admission and scholarship awarding purposes. Students who chose not to submit test scores will be reviewed on the basis of their prior high school academic work. Additional requests for documents such as personal statements or letters of recommendation may be required upon review.

Transfer

Transfer students, we can't wait to learn more about you. Wilmington College reviews students for admission as a transfer student in both spring and fall semester. Students completing the transfer admission application should have completed at least one (1) full-time term at a previous institution after completing high school. Transcripts from all prior institutions are required for review prior to an admission decision. Additional requests for documents such as personal statements or letters of recommendation may be required upon review. Students completing their application along with transcripts from all prior institutions will be considered for automatic scholarship consideration at the time of acceptance!
