Application information

First-year

WPU receives applications on a rolling basis so that you can apply anytime. However, we recommend you apply by March 1 for the Fall Term and November 1 for the Spring Term.

We review applications holistically. That means that while GPA and test scores (optional) are important, we want to know all about you as a person and a community member to get the complete picture of who you are — in and out of the classroom. While optional, submitting 1-2 letters of recommendation, a personal essay, and a co-curricular resume is a good idea. Those items help the Admission Committee when making admissions determinations.

To give you a sense of the strength of our enrolling students, last year's class had a mid-50 % SAT range of 1095-1205, ACT of 21-26, and an average GPA of 3.67. Remember that those are averages and ranges but should provide a good perspective.

Transfer

  • WPU is transfer friendly: We accept up to 90 credits from other institutions. 
  • If you're transferring from a North Carolina institution, it's even easier — many of your gen ed requirements will be covered, making it easy for you to earn in a degree in two years or fewer! 
  • Get a free transfer credit evaluation before you apply - Request Info.

Being a first-generation college student from a single-parent household, the fear of not being able to go to college because of finances was always scary to me. The financial aid team gave me and my mother a chance to ask questions and understand the routes we could take to pay for college. This helped both of us feel less worried about the financial aspect of coming to WPU.
