Freshman Application Procedure

The Admissions Committee places primary emphasis on the

applicant's secondary school record. Subjects taken, grades,

SAT or ACT scores, and class rank are among the more

important factors taken into consideration. Most students rank

in the upper half of their graduating class, and many are in

the top third.The committee also reviews any additional

information submitted by either the applicant or the school.

For freshman applicants who have pursued a non-traditional

secondary education program, the General Equivalency

Diploma, granted by the appropriate state agency, is

recognized. A transcript of the work that was completed in

high school is still required; a curriculum similar to that

previously described is recommended.

Secondary school students must submit the following when

applying for admission: (1) a completed application; (2) an

official and complete high school transcript; (3) official results

of either the SAT I or the ACT; and (4) the $30 application

fee.The school record should be submitted directly to the

Admissions Office by the applicant's counselor or principal.

Roanoke College has no limitation on the number or

proportion of qualified persons with disabilities who may be

admitted. Applicants complete the usual application

procedure. If special tests are available and appropriate,

applicants are encouraged to use them.
