What to Expect

The McIntire Undergraduate Admissions Committee is composed of faculty members who independently review and make decisions on each applicant. After review, the group meets to reach consensus on each applicant.

Applicants receive one of three decisions: offered, waitlisted, or denied.

  • Offered: If you’re offered admission, you will have one week to accept or decline the offer.
  • Waitlist: While we intend to fill our class with initial offers, we will create an unranked waitlist in the event that students choose to pursue another major. You will have the opportunity to accept or turn down a spot on the waitlist. We will make offers from the waitlist by early July, but may make offers through the end of summer. Once the class is finalized, we will notify students on the waitlist that it is unlikely that space will become available. No new material will be accepted as a part of the waitlist process–rest assured that your application is strong and we simply did not have enough space at the time of extending initial offers.

Holistic Admissions

McIntire students are driven to be the best at what they do. They are high achievers and dynamic team players committed to achieving success and shaping the future together. They are forward thinking, with the dedication to continuous development of the hard and soft skills necessary to excel in myriad fields. They are ethically minded; their actions and decisions are governed by a deep sense of honor and responsibility, and they are unafraid to challenge each other and the status quo.

Our holistic admissions process allows us to create a class that will carry this legacy forward year after year. When reviewing application materials we look at traditional empirical measures of academic achievement, like GPA, but we also look for things that indicate a diversity of backgrounds and experiences, emotional intelligence, community engagement, and intellectual curiosity.
