    How to Apply

    STEP 1
    Start Your Application

    It’s comprehensive, convenient, and fully online.* When completing your application, it’s helpful to have a copy of your high school transcripts and around 30 minutes. Need to take a break and finish later? You can save your progress and pick up where you left off any time.

    STEP 2
    Report Your Grades and Finalize Your Application

    On your application, you will be asked to self-report your grades. This means you should enter your courses and grades exactly as they appear on your high school transcripts, including any in-progress senior year coursework. Remember earlier when we said it’s helpful to have a copy of your high school transcripts? This is where they’ll come in handy.

    Don’t worry about sending us your official transcripts yet – you don’t need to do that until after you’re admitted and finish your senior year of coursework.

    If you still have questions about self-reporting your grades, check out our Admission and Application Requirements section on our list of Frequently Asked Questions.

    STEP 3
    Get Excited

    Once your application is submitted, our review process typically takes about 2-4 weeks. Be sure to check your Future Wildcat account for status updates on your application.
