Admissions Application

Overview

Students interested in admission to Illinois Wesleyan University must submit

• One of the following applications (no fee with any application):
• • IWU Domestic Application (U.S. citizens or students who hold a Permanent U.S. Resident Visa) or
  • IWU International Application or
  • the Common Application (with supplement) or
  • the Universal College Application (with supplement)
    (Students who apply to IWU via the Common Application or the Universal College Application will receive the same consideration as students who submit the IWU Domestic or International Application.)
• Transcripts for all previous high school and college coursework
• An ACT or SAT-I score
• A Teacher Evaluation Form or a letter of recommendation from an academic teacher or guidance counselor

Students are eligible to apply for admission once they have completed their junior year of high school and taken either the ACT or SAT-I. An overview of IWU's admissions criteria is available here. Students who are considering attending college after only three years of high school may apply, but should first contact a member of the Admissions Staff.

Illinois Wesleyan does not begin reviewing applications until after December 1, and will continue to review applications through April. The national decision deadline for high school students to choose a college is May 1. Although there is no application deadline at IWU, it is recommend that students apply prior to our early rounds of review. There is no fee to apply.
