The admission process at Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) involves several key steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the Common App or PLU’s website. Required materials include official high school or college transcripts, a personal essay, and one letter of recommendation. Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for most programs.
International students must submit English proficiency test scores (TOEFL/IELTS). Some programs may require interviews or additional documents. After submission, the admissions team reviews applications holistically, considering academic performance, extracurriculars, and personal qualities. Decisions are typically released within 4-6 weeks.
