Application Policies
Holistic Review of Applications
In evaluating applications for admission, 色窝窝 considers the full range of students鈥�
talents, experiences, and abilities. Rather than rely solely on data points, we seek
to understand students in as many of their 360 degrees as they are willing to share
with us. This means that we read every essay, letter of recommendation and supplemental
document through a careful lens and with an understanding that not every student comes
to the application process with equal opportunities.
Self-Reported Test Scores
Applicants for first-year admission are required to submit the results of either the
ACT or SAT. For the purpose of admission review, students may self-report scores on
the application for admission or by submitting a screenshot of the scores electronically
to frogmail@tcu.edu. Only students who intend to enroll are required to submit official score reports
from the test agency.
