Admission Requirements

Admission is based on a review of each student’s comprehensive academic and extracurricular record to predict their likelihood to be successful at Bradley. In determining an applicant’s qualifications, the following criteria are used:

  • Completed Application
  • High School Transcript. Students may submit either an unofficial or official transcript for consideration for admission. If an official copy of the transcript is not provided at the time of application, an official copy must be sent prior to enrollment.
  • One or two-page personal statement or essay. Be sure to include your full name on each page.
  • For non-U.S. citizens who will not earn a U.S. high school diploma, scores from one of these standardized tests are required for proof of English language proficiency: TOEFL, IELTS, E3PT, PTE Academic, ACT or SAT.

Optional

One letter of recommendation may be valuable for some students. Students may elect to include a letter from a teacher, school counselor, coach, or school activity advisor. No specific form is required.

Entrance Examinations

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ is test-free for applicants to the freshman class who graduate from a high school accredited in the United States within the year prior to enrollment at Bradley.

Non-U.S. citizens may submit an ACT or SAT score which will only be used to determine English language proficiency, and will not be used for any other admission decisions. If a student wishes to include standardized test scores, the student must request that they be forwarded to the Office of Undergraduate Admission from the testing service or request that their high school send a transcript with the official scores reported.
