Early Admission

 

Each year a few students who have established a consistently strong record of achievement in college preparatory courses and whose performance on college entrance tests suggests they are fully ready to carry a program of study toward a college degree may be accepted for admission and permitted to enroll before graduation from high school. This procedure is the result of past experience in admitting well-prepared, mature students to full first-year standing at the end of the traditional junior year in high school and was originally undertaken with the approval and under the supervision of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Students should apply for ``early admission'' only if they have the full cooperation of secondary school authorities and their parents and must:

  1. send credentials in the same manner as other candidates for admission;
  2. arrange for a personal interview with a member of the Admissions Staff, preferably on the Cornell College campus.
Subject to these provisions, this plan is also open to persons returning from military service and to other applicants who for good reason are without high school certification. Early admission students seeking financial assistance are required to submit GED scores.
