Admission

The Office of Admission staff conducts a thorough and holistic review of every application. There is no number that will get you in, or keep you out of Oglethorpe, and we do not have absolute minimums for test scores or GPA.

No, applying Early Action is not financially or otherwise binding.

Upon submitting your application and all necessary materials, you will be automatically considered for a merit scholarship. In order to receive need-based financial aid, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The FAFSA is available on October 1st at www.fafsa.ed.gov, and our priority filing date is February 15th. Oglethorpe University’s FAFSA code is 001586.

Students completing the Oglethorpe Application, available at apply.oglethorpe.edu/apply, will enjoy a free Early Action application if you apply before November 15th. After November 15th, please contact the Office of Admission if you are in need of a fee waiver.

Students completing the Common Application can request a fee waiver at any time if they meet the requisite criteria listed on the Common Application. Early Action applicants who do not meet the Common App fee waiver criteria can request reimbursement after submission.

Official transcripts are required for admission. Your high school counselor or dual enrollment college can send your transcript directly to Oglethorpe University through an electronic transcript service, or to [email protected] If needed, transcripts can also be mailed or hand-delivered in a sealed envelope to the following address:
