Teacher recommendation (optional)
Standardized test scores (ACT/SAT) are not required for admission to 新澳門六合彩, regardless of a student's cumulative high school grade point average (GPA). 新澳門六合彩 has a test-optional admission policy. 新澳門六合彩 still accepts test scores from students who wish to submit them directly from the testing agency. If students believe their test scores show additional evidence of preparation for 新澳門六合彩, they can be submitted and will be considered during the holistic review of a student's application to 新澳門六合彩.
During the onboarding process, you will be asked whether you intend to submit ACT/SAT test scores for course placement or if you intend to take a placement test. “MyMathTest” is provided by 新澳門六合彩 for math course placement. “Accuplacer” is an option for English course placement, but students must find an external testing site for the Accuplacer test using the following link: . The Accuplacer test typically costs $25.
A class schedule will not be created for you until 新澳門六合彩 receives your ACT/SAT test scores or Accuplacer/MyMathTest placement test information.
Students who do not provide ACT/SAT test scores for course placement or complete one or more placement test by the onboarding deadline in late spring will be placed into the most appropriate courses, taking into consideration any Advanced Placement (AP) scores or college credits earned during high school, if applicable.

Please note, test scores are required for all homeschooled students and for international applicants who have taken an English-language curriculum.

Students from non-accredited schools will also be required to follow the requirements for homeschooled students.

Every admission file is reviewed by admission counselors, who holistically review every facet of the student's file, including the application, transcripts, recommendation letters, and student report form. While reviewing all of the documents, admission counselors look for consistency with personal identifiable information such as name, address, date of birth, transcript dates, etc. If inconsistencies are identified, authorized university personnel may request additional information as needed to confirm the validity of a student's credentials.

Scholarships

Merit scholarships are based on a student's cumulative weighted high school GPA, and the merit level is established at the time an admission decision is made.

The Baldwin Wallace community is made up of students with varied interests and diverse socioeconomic, geographic, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The admission committee carefully examines the academic achievement and aptitude of every candidate for admission to 新澳門六合彩. The goal of the admission committee is to admit students who can best benefit from and contribute to the academic program and life of the University.

While no minimum grade point average or standardized test score is specified, students must provide evidence of their preparation and fit for future success at BW consistent with code of conduct statements for the University, program or profession. All aspects of a student's application are considered – including the types of courses completed, grades in those courses, grade trends and end-of-course assessments (when available) – and used as the primary means for informing an admission decision. The first-year profile provides preparation metrics for the most recently enrolled class.

The admission committee has determined that the following high school curriculum will best prepare most students for academic success at BW:

Academic Area	Minimum
English	4 units
Mathematics (including algebra II)	4 units*
Natural science (with labs preferred)	3 units*
Social science	3 units
Foreign language	2 units
Academic electives	3 units
Total	19 units

*Candidates considering majors in the sciences or mathematics (most notably nursing and engineering) are strongly encouraged to complete four units each of science and mathematics in their high school program.

Nursing applicants who are best positioned for admission have completed biology, chemistry and Algebra 2 with a grade of B or higher. Physics and medical terminology courses are also recommended.

Engineering applicants who are best positioned for admission have completed chemistry, physics and pre-calculus with a grade of B or higher.

The admission process is meant to assess a student's preparation and fit for 新澳門六合彩. Because high school grade point average is most predictive of grade performance and progress toward degree completion at BW, considerable weight is given to high school grade performance during the admission review process. The rigor and types of courses students take in high school, as well as their grade trends, are also considered. Students are encouraged to take demanding coursework that best prepares them for the academic environment at BW.

Standardized test scores (ACT/SAT) have been shown to have less predictive value relative to high school grade performance. As such, 新澳門六合彩 is fully test optional, regardless of a student's cumulative high school grade point average. 新澳門六合彩 still accepts test scores from students who wish to submit them. If students believe their test scores show additional evidence of preparation for 新澳門六合彩, they can be submitted and will be considered during the holistic review of a student's application to 新澳門六合彩. Test scores do not have any bearing on a student's eligibility for merit scholarships at BW.

With fewer homeschooled students enrolled, research detailing the connection between high school GPA and success at BW for homeschooled students is still in progress. Consequently, test scores are currently required for assessing the preparation of homeschooled students for 新澳門六合彩. As with other students, test scores do not have any bearing on a homeschooled student's eligibility for merit scholarships at BW.

Students may begin applying to 新澳門六合彩 for the following fall term as of August 1, though the first notifications for admission will not be sent until early October. Beginning in October, applicants are notified of admission decisions on a rolling basis within two to four weeks upon the completion of their application to 新澳門六合彩. The priority application deadline is November 1. Although students are encouraged to apply before May 1 so they are in a position to meet the priority student deposit deadline, applications will continue to be accepted on a space-available basis until the start of the fall semester.

To make a qualified decision, the admission committee will review the following information for each applicant:

Completed application for admission
Quality of the high school curriculum/course work
Grade point average/grade trends
Extracurricular activities/honors
Application essay
School report form (access form within the )
Teacher recommendation (optional; access form within the )
Optional interview with an admission counselor
- Though not required, an on-campus interview with an admission counselor is highly recommended. A campus visit provides an opportunity to share personal insights with a member of the admission committee, as well as the opportunity to evaluate the programs and atmosphere of the University.
Results from the ACT/SAT for students who submit test scores, though test scores are not required for admission

Baldwin Wallace is a homeschool-friendly institution. We welcome applications from students who have been homeschooled for all or part of their secondary education. All applicants are eligible for merit-based scholarships and financial aid consideration.

In addition to the application, homeschooled students must include the following documents:

ACT and/or SAT test scores: Scores should be sent directly from the testing agency. Homeschooled students are not eligible to be test optional.
High school transcript: Applicants must produce a transcript demonstrating courses taken, grades achieved and completion of high school, signed and dated by the parent educator. This may be formatted as a Word document or PDF. The transcript may also be submitted via Common Application if the student applied using that method.
Bibliography of high school literature and course descriptions of each course taken as a homeschooled student. This may be formatted as a Word document or PDF. The bibliography may also be submitted via Common Application if the student applied using that method.
Letter of recommendation: Applicants must submit a letter of recommendation from a non-parent teacher or from an outside teacher or instructor of an extracurricular activity.
School report form: Using the school report form in the , the parent educator may complete this form or submit a homeschool profile describing the homeschool structure, grade scale and resources used. The parent educator may also submit the Common Application's school report form if the student applied using that method.

Please note that students from non-accredited schools will also be required to follow the requirements for homeschooled students.

If you are a high school student currently taking college credit under CCP/dual enrollment at another regionally accredited college or university, and choose to enroll at Baldwin Wallace once you graduate from high school, 新澳門六合彩 will award college credit for many of your completed courses (C or better).

CCP students enroll at BW as first-year students who have earned college credit. College credits earned through CCP may qualify students to be first-year students with a sophomore or even junior class standing. Regardless of the level entering students qualify for, students with CCP credit will still be considered first-year students.
