APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

In addition to your online application, all first-year applicants must submit:

school transcripts;
a school report from your counselor; and
one letter of recommendation from a teacher, school counselor or community group leader

Test scores are optional for all first-year and transfer applicants enrolled in a public, private, or charter school. DePauw accepts self-reported scores, the student score report, official scores from a testing center or scores reported on your official high school transcript. Test-optional applicants are still considered for merit-based scholarships.

HOW TO SUBMIT APPLICATION MATERIALS

Transcripts and letters of recommendation must come directly from a school official. Optional supplemental items can be uploaded through your applicant status portal, available after your application has been submitted.
