Admissions Overview

High school students can begin applying for admissions early in their senior year. A completed application consists of the application form, official high school transcript, SAT I test scores (QU SAT code - 3712) or ACT scores (QU ACT code - 0582) senior year, first-quarter grades, essay, and one letter of recommendation. The admissions office begins reviewing folders as soon as they are complete, and begins notifying students of their decisions in mid-December. Students applying for the physical therapy, occupational therapy and physician assistant programs should apply by December 1st. We recommend February 1st as the deadline for all other applicants.

All programs subscribe to the nationally recognized candidate reply date of May 1. Any students placed on a waitlist who responds that they are interested in being considered if spaces are available will be notified as soon after May 1 as possible if there is room in the incoming class. In general, Quinnipiac admits about 50% of those who apply.

Transfer students who have or will receive an associate’s degree prior to entrance do not need to provide high school transcripts and SAT results. We must receive transcripts of all courses taken at other colleges. The physician assistant program is not available to transfer students.
