End of Travel Season

Hey everyone. Apologies for the lack of postings over the the travel season but it has been quite a last few couple of months. Counselors at WNE are wrapping up their last week out on the road. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting prospective students and their families at countless high school visits, mini fairs, and college fairs during the fall. I know I have had a blast being in four different states over the past two plus months. I've enjoyed my usual territories of eastern Massachusetts and Pennsylvania as well as two additions to my schedule in the Catskills area of New York, as well as the state of Florida which I was fortunate enough to visit for two weeks.

Now that we are nearing the end of travel, it is important to revisit the application process! Counselors have already been desk-deep in application review for our incoming class of 2018. We eagerly await your application! As a reminder, WNE works on a rolling admissions process, so the sooner you apply, the sooner you will receive a decision from us! There also was a slight change to our admissions policy this year as we no longer require first quarter senior year grades for many of the majors at WNE. If a student is taking Pre-Calculus as a senior and is applying to the College of Engineering, Pharmacy, or some of our science and math majors, we will need to see your first quarter senior year grades. If you are applying to any of those programs and have already taken Pre-Calculus or if you are applying to other majors, first quarter grades are not required. The following items are the remainder of what is needed in your application:

1. Completed application (Common Application OR the Western New England University application)
2. Application fee of $40
3. Official high school transcript
4. SAT and/or ACT scores (send us all of your scores so we can take your highest Critical Reading and Math scores of the SAT and the English, math, and composite scores of the ACT)
5. Essay as mentioned on the Common Application
6. At least one letter of recommendation

Please submit the above items via mail, email, or fax to the Admissions Office and we look forward to reviewing your application soon! If you have any questions about the school or the admissions process please contact learn@wne.edu. Happy fall!
