Welcome to Admissions at Nichols College. Our staff is here to help guide you through your college search and application process. Whether you are a high school senior in the U.S., an international student, or a transfer student, the admissions staff at Nichols College is here to help you every step of the way.

Application Process

Nichols College operates on a rolling admissions basis throughout the year. Students applying for fall admission will begin being notified after January 1st. New for the fall of 2012, we will be offering two new admissions tracks:

  • SAT/ACT Optional
    Graduating seniors with a GPA of 3.0 (B) or higher may choose to waive their SAT scores when applying to Nichols. This is our way of rewarding your strong high school performance and helping to make your application process as smooth as possible.
  • Early Action
    If Nichols College is among your top college choices we encourage you to apply Early Action. This non-binding process allows you to receive your acceptance before January 1, 2012. In addition students who are admitted through Early Action receive an additional $1,000 Early Acceptance Grant.  The deadline for Early Action is December 1st. Students who are not admitted through Early Action will be deferred into our traditional applicant pool.

Required Application Materials

  • Completed On-line Application, Common Application, or Universal Application
  • Essay or Personal Statement
  • One Recommendation Letter (from a teacher or counselor)
  • SAT or ACT Scores (unless a 3.0 and applying as SAT/ACT optional)
  • High School Transcript (must include grades from the first marking period of your senior year)
