Admission Processes: Early Action and Regular Decision
Alma College engages in a holistic admissions process. Domestic high school students must submit an application, admissions essay, and at least three years of transcripted high school coursework. Students with a 2.75 high school GPA (or higher) are automatically considered for admission without the need to submit an ACT/SAT test score through the fall of 2023.
To be considered for early action, apply and have your transcripts submitted by December 1. Accepted applicants will receive a $1,000 early action scholarship from Alma College.
While our application remains open, regular decision applicants are encouraged to submit before January 15 to maximize financial aid and scholarship opportunities.
- Transcripts: Transcripts should be sent to admissions@alma.edu. Official transcripts are required upon enrollment.
- Alternative admissions pathways for students with a high school grade point average of less than a 2.75 continue to be available and will be addressed individually with students. Please apply to get the process started.
- We recommend that high school seniors apply during the fall for maximum scholarship consideration.
When will I know if I’m accepted?
Admissions decisions are typically provided within two weeks. If you have questions about your application, please contact your admissions representative.
