First-year

We look at every application and consider all of your academic and extracurricular achievements — not just your GPA or test scores. In fact, we have a standardized test-optional admission process, which means you don't have to submit ACT or SAT scores when you apply here. 

Factors We Consider

There are no minimum scores or grades. However, these are the factors we look at when making admissions decisions:

  • Overall high school academic record
  • Recommendation letters
  • Co-curricular activities
  • Community involvement
  • Writing ability
  • Other achievements
  • Any advanced placement (AP) or international baccalaureate (IB) credits

Transfer

All transfer admissions are rolling admission.  The transfer application can be found on our website at collegeofidaho.edu/apply.  Under Rolling Admission, students are invited to submit their applications at any time over a large window. The College will consider these applications as they arrive.
