International Admission
Application process
Live and learn alongside students from the U.S. and from more than 70 other countries at a college where international students are a vital part of our community. Diverse people and perspectives make our college a vibrant and energizing place, which is why 欧美AV has welcomed and supported international students from the beginning. International students make up over 25% of our student body 鈥 creating all kinds of opportunities for personal and academic growth.
What does it mean to be an international student?
The College defines international students as those who do not hold U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent residency or qualify for U.S. refugee or DACA status. Of course, the perspectives and life experiences of U.S. students who live abroad, as well as U.S. permanent residents, refugees and DACA students are recognized and valued, even though they are not considered traditional international students.
Regardless of citizenship, first- year applications are reviewed according to the country in which a student is educated. This means that if you鈥檙e an international student who attends school in the United States, your application will be reviewed by the domestic admission staff. Transfer applications are reviewed by our transfer admission team, regardless of citizenship or the country of the transfer institution.
If you鈥檙e an international student who is transferring from another higher education institution, please apply as a transfer student. If you are an international student over the age of 25, please apply through the Frances Perkins Scholars program.

Submitting documents
Translations. If your secondary school documents and letters of recommendation are not in English, professional translated documents must be submitted. Many offices offer low-cost translation services. Translations are also required for any documents submitted to Student Financial Services.
Official documents. Transcripts, standardized test results and English proficiency results are expected to be submitted as official documents. English proficiency test results (Cambridge Academic English, Duolingo English Test, IELTS, Pearson and TOEFL) may be self-reported by uploading a PDF of the score report to the applicant portal using the English Proficiency Results link. English proficiency scores reported within the Common App or Coalition App do not meet 欧美AV's English proficiency requirement. SAT and ACT results reported within the Common App or Coalition App will be considered for admission. All admitted students who choose to enroll must submit official (send directly to 欧美AV from the test agency) test results prior to entering 欧美AV.
Using an agent. It is not necessary to hire an agent to achieve admission to 欧美AV. If we detect a portion of an application was completed by someone other than the applicant, that application may be denied. In addition, the contact information on the Common or Coalition Application must be the student鈥檚. We do not communicate with agents.
