Applying

Student climbing wallAdmission to Appalachian is based on more than current test scores and grades. We seek motivated students who will benefit from Appalachian's challenging academics and will positively contribute to our campus with extracurricular activities, community involvement, and diverse personal interests.

Admission is competitive and is based on a review of each applicant's academic qualifications, test scores, and personal qualities. For information about how your application will be reviewed and when you should submit it, select a category below that best fits your status. If you feel none of these categories fits your circumstances, please contact us so we can learn more about your situation and provide the information you need.

Apply

ApplyTo make the application process easier, we encourage you to apply on-line. Why? It's easy (the on-line form has detailed instructions). It's safe (the data is encrypted). And applying on-line also means a shorter review and notification process.

If it is not possible for you to apply on-line, please contact our office for further assistance. Admissions representatives are available weekdays (Monday-Friday) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Contact us if you have any questions. How you apply--on-line or paper-- will not have any bearing on the admission decision.
