Next, they are grouped by high school and read once more by an admissions counselor who is familiar with the specific area. A final decision-making team then reviews the recommendations and makes a final decision. Students are either accepted, placed on the waiting list, or denied admission. Our final goal is to build the best possible class for Gettysburg College. Well, for one thing, students can now submit their applications on-line via computer.
Competition is also keener than it was twenty-five years ago.
Of course, there are a few constants. High SAT scores by themselves do not guarantee acceptance to a top college. In an effort to demystify the admissions process, regardless of whether you have been through it before, the Offices of Admissions and Alumni Relations would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in the 4th Annual Legacy Weekend Program, to be held on September 23-24, in conjuction with Homecoming. This program is designed to show your son or daughter what college life is like, as well as to answer questions they should be asking colleges when they visit. You will also be able to explore what is new at Gettysburg College and learn about the changes concerning applying to colleges and financial aid.
