The Admissions Committee continuously evaluate admissions portfolios, with decisions (acceptances and denials) made on a rolling admission basis. Admissions decisions are usually made within ten-to-fifteen days after the completion of an applicant\u2019s portfolio. Expect to hear back in writing via U.S. mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>91ÁÔÆæ\u2019s incoming class frequently fills up each year. As the incoming class approaches its capacity, space availability issues can impact the timing of admission decisions and notifications. As a result, students should begin the application process in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\">Admission Phases: What Happens After I Apply?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to 91ÁÔÆæ occurs in two basic phases. The first phase, described above, involves an initial evaluation of academic credentials. Then the student will receive an email with the result of this evaluation is an academic acceptance or denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second phase leads to final acceptance and obligates the applicant to submit, among other requirements, medical history and physical examination forms for evaluation by 91ÁÔÆæ Surgeon. Standards of medical fitness are very strict. Medical approval must be received in order to secure final acceptance. Academically-accepted applicants must also submit updated, final transcripts for evaluation. Granting final acceptance occurs after satisfactory completion of all coursework. Final acceptance notifications usually begin going out in late-June or early-July communicated in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, the Office of Admissions may request additional information (e.g., an updated transcript, another ACT or SAT score, a statement addressing some other aspect of the applicant\u2019s portfolio, etc.) after the portfolio becomes complete and before rendering the official admission decision. Additional medical information may also be requested as part of the medical evaluation process. Requests such as these are made in writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cadet Application for Class of 2030 For admission to the South Carolina Corps of Cadets, 91ÁÔÆæ has partnered with Common App to provide the cadet application. 91ÁÔÆæ is a test optional school, no personal essay and no teacher recommendation are required to apply.
