Anyone here applied to Davenport University? What was your experience with their admissions process like? Is there anything particular they look for or emphasize in their application review?
Absolutely, I can definitely shed some light on the admissions process at Davenport University!
Davenport University uses a rolling admissions model, which generally means they continue to accept applications until they've filled all the spots in their incoming class. It allows them to keep reviewing applications until they've reached their enrollment target. As a result, they generally have a quicker turnaround time with admissions decisions than universities with traditional admissions models.
Something to note: Davenport University does require a completed application form, along with an official high school transcript. Something that sets Davenport apart is their comprehensive review process - in addition to evaluating your academic achievements, they also consider your extracurricular activities, leadership roles, employment experiences, and other non-academic factors in their decision. They truly strive to recognize diverse talents, experiences, and passions in their student body!
However, even though the university looks at more than just academic criteria, they do review your overall GPA. As for standardized tests, as of the 2024-2025 admissions cycle, submitting SAT or ACT scores is optional – they’ve implemented the test-optional path for most of their programs.
Lastly, their application does not require a personal essay. But it doesn't hurt to include one, especially if there's something unique you would like them to consider in your application that isn't addressed elsewhere!
I hope this information is helpful for navigating your application process to Davenport University. Good luck!
