Hey guys! I'm filling out my application for Troy University, and I'm kind of stuck. Does anyone know how long it typically takes to complete, or have any tips for filling it out?
Hello there! Each applicant's experience may vary slightly, but generally speaking, completing the Troy University online application should not take more than a few hours. A great deal of the timing will depend on how prepared you are - it will be easier if you have gathered all necessary information and documents in advance.
Here are a few tips:
1. Keep your personal information handy - Gather items such as your Social Security Number, contact information, and details about your educational history.
2. Prepare your activities list - You'll likely be asked about your extracurricular activities, which might include job experience, volunteer work, clubs, or sports. Try to list these in order of importance to you.
3. Think about your academic goals - This will help you answer any questions about your intended major or future career goals. It's fine if you're undecided, but have a think about some possible directions.
4. Application fee - Be prepared to pay the $30 application fee. Sometimes there are fee waivers available to those who qualify, so if this will be a financial burden, you may want to investigate that route.
5. Transcript and Test Scores - Troy University requires official high school transcripts and either SAT or ACT scores, and for international students, TOEFL or IELTS scores might be required too. Before beginning your application, discuss the process for sending these documents to Troy with your high school's counseling office.
6. Don't rush - Try not to leave it too close to the deadline. It's a good idea to save your work frequently, and take breaks if you need to, rather than trying to finish everything in one session.
And finally, when in doubt, reach out to the admissions office. They are there to help you through the process. Good luck with your application!
