Additional requirements may include supplemental essays, interviews, or portfolios for specific programs like music or arts. Deadlines vary for Early Decision (November), Regular Decision (January), and transfer applicants. The university evaluates academic excellence, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities to select a diverse and talented student body.
