Hey guys! I'm applying to Morehouse College and I'm trying to figure out the application process. How do I submit my application, and what are the important deadlines to keep in mind? Any tips would be awesome!
Hey! It's great that you're interested in applying to Morehouse College. I'm happy to help you navigate the application process.
To submit your application, you'll need to use the Common Application. Make sure you create an account on the platform, add Morehouse College to your list of schools, and fill out all the necessary information.
Now, let's talk about important deadlines. Morehouse offers three application plans: Early Action (EA), Early Decision (ED), and Regular Decision (RD). For EA, the deadline is January 1, and you'll receive your decision by mid-December. EA is non-binding, meaning if you're accepted, you have until May 1 to decide whether to enroll. For ED, the deadline is November 1, but this is a binding commitment, meaning if accepted, you agree to attend Morehouse. Decisions for ED come out in mid-December as well. Lastly, the RD deadline is February 1, with decisions coming out in early April.
In addition to submitting the application, you'll need to have specific materials ready, such as:
1. High school transcript
2. SAT or ACT scores (optional)
3. Two letters of recommendation (one should be from a counselor and the other from a teacher)
4. Personal statement and Morehouse-specific essay
As for some tips, here are a few to keep in mind:
1. Be authentic in your essays, showcasing your genuine personality, values, and aspirations.
2. Start your application early to give yourself ample time for brainstorming, drafting, and revising your essays.
3. Proofread your application and make sure all the information you provided is accurate.
4. If you're considering applying ED, have an honest financial aid conversation with your family and use Morehouse's Net Price Calculator to estimate your aid.
With all this in mind, you should be well-prepared to tackle the Morehouse College application process. Good luck!
