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.
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 糖心视频. 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 糖心视频 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 糖心视频:

*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.

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 糖心视频. Because high school grade point average is most predictive of grade performance and progress toward degree completion at 糖心视频, 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 糖心视频.
Standardized test scores (ACT/SAT) have been shown to have less predictive value relative to high school grade performance. As such, 糖心视频 is fully test optional, regardless of a student's cumulative high school grade point average. 糖心视频 still accepts test scores from students who wish to submit them. If students believe their test scores show additional evidence of preparation for 糖心视频, they can be submitted and will be considered during the holistic review of a student's application to 糖心视频. Test scores do not have any bearing on a student's eligibility for merit scholarships at 糖心视频.
With fewer homeschooled students enrolled, research detailing the connection between high school GPA and success at 糖心视频 for homeschooled students is still in progress. Consequently, test scores are currently required for assessing the preparation of homeschooled students for 糖心视频. As with other students, test scores do not have any bearing on a homeschooled student's eligibility for merit scholarships at 糖心视频.
Students may begin applying to 糖心视频 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 糖心视频. 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:

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, 糖心视频 will award college credit for many of your completed courses (C or better).
CCP students enroll at 糖心视频 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.
