First-year Application Procedures

First-year applicants must submit:

Completed and signed application
$50 application fee
Official high school transcript
Official SAT or ACT test scores, including writing section
Secondary School Report

The SAT or ACT should be taken late in the junior year and again early in the fall of the senior year. In making admissions decisions, Elon will evaluate the highest math and critical reading scores from all test scores submitted. It is important to ensure that we receive all test scores that are available. TOEFL or IELTS scores will be used for students for whom English is not their first language and who have less than four years of English as their primary language of instruction at the secondary level.
