The admission process at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) involves several key steps. Applicants must submit the Common Application, including a personal essay, high school transcripts, and letters of recommendation. Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are optional but can be included. Some programs may require additional materials, such as portfolios for arts applicants.
WPI reviews applications holistically, considering academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities. Deadlines vary for Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision. International students must provide English proficiency test scores (TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo). Admissions decisions are typically released by April 1.
