Hey everyone, I'm looking into Norwich University and I'm curious about their application process. Can anyone who has applied to Norwich give me some insight on their application? Like what to expect and any tips or tricks?
Sure! Norwich University has a pretty straightforward application process, and I'm happy to share some insight.
To apply, you can use either the Common Application or their own Norwich-specific application. Neither one is preferred over the other, so choose the one that's most convenient for you. If you're already using the Common Application to apply to other schools, it might be a good idea to use that.
As for the requirements, you'll need to submit your high school transcript, showcasing a strong academic background, along with one letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor. The letter should ideally be from someone who knows you well and can speak to your strengths and capabilities in an academic setting. It's a good idea to ask this person early to give them ample time to write a thoughtful letter.
Norwich University is test-optional, so submitting your SAT or ACT scores is not required, but if you have strong test scores, you may want to include them to strengthen your application. Since they're optional, not submitting them will not hurt your application.
Take care when writing your personal essay. Spend time brainstorming, outlining, and then drafting your essay to make sure it best represents your personality, experiences, and goals. The admissions committee is looking for students who will be a good fit for their community, so make sure your essay demonstrates how you will contribute to Norwich University's diverse student body and academic atmosphere.
Lastly, if possible, attend any available open houses, campus tours, or virtual information sessions provided by the university. This will not only help you demonstrate interest in the school, but also give you a better understanding of the values and culture of Norwich, which can be helpful in crafting your application essay.
It's always a good idea to proofread everything and double-check that all required materials are submitted in a timely manner. Pay attention to deadlines and aim to submit your application ahead of time to avoid any last-minute stresses.
Hope that helps! Good luck with your application!
