申请过程

First-year applicants can apply to Clark using either the Common Application or the Coalition Application with Scoir. Choose the method that suits you best, but please 只提交一份申请. 这两种选择都不收费.

We read your transcript top to bottom, to get the full story of your academic journey. We value how you’ve challenged yourself and shown growth over time, 尤其是在你大三和大四的时候. Test scores are optional, as we believe standardized tests don’t fully represent most students. 我们很自豪可以选择测试. 

你对家庭的参与, community, 课外的高中活动也很重要. Whether through athletics, family commitments, part-time jobs, or musicals, all experiences matter. Clark fosters an active and inclusive community; we value all ways of being engaged in your community and seek students who will learn from and with each other.

Letters of recommendation help us understand who you are both in and out of the classroom. Your high school counselor provides one valuable prospective and teachers provide another. We suggest asking an academic teacher who knows you well to write a recommendation for you, 一个能说出你作为学生的长处和成长的人.

Yes. OD体育 does not require students to submit either their SAT or ACT score as part of their application.

We strongly encourage you to submit all required materials by the deadline; however, 我们认识到，在某些情况下，这可能是不可能的. It’s most important that we receive your main application (either the Common App or the Coalition App with Scoir) by the deadline. 您的其他证书可能会在截止日期后到达. 

You will be able to track your application materials in your applicant portal, 我们会通过邮件提醒您丢失的材料. 如果您的应用程序仍然不完整, 它将被撤回, 但必须在我们通知你丢失的东西之后. 你有责任确保你的申请是完整的. 

You can apply using either application, and we do not have a preference which way you apply. Please 只提交一份申请 给OD体育-你不需要完成这两项! 这两种申请都不收费.

一旦启动了应用程序, we’ll send you an email with information about how to log in to our applicant portal, 在那里你可以检查你的材料的状态, 看看少了什么, 并接收有关您的应用程序的更新. 在截止日期前后的高峰期, 门户上的状态更新不是即时的, 所以请预留处理时间. 如果你对你的申请状态有疑问, 检查您的申请人门户网站, 请拨打1-800-462-5275或 给我们办公室发邮件. 

All decisions are released through our applicant portal to your personal account, 所以你可以在任何地方登录查看你的决定. You’ll receive credentials to sign in to this portal via email when we first receive your application materials. 注意：我们不会通过电话发布录取决定.

是的，不管你是不是美国人.S. citizens or an international student, you may apply as a first-year student for the spring semester. Follow the instructions for applying to Clark and submit your application by Nov. 1. 

Admitted students may postpone their enrollment for up to a year and must submit a request to defer in writing by May 1. A nonrefundable deposit (credited toward first-semester charges) is required.

Advanced Placement (AP) credit is defined as one unit of degree credit assigned for a score of 4 or 5 on a College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) AP exam taken after completion of an AP course and before the student formally matriculates.

First-year students may receive credit for college work with grades of C or better completed prior to becoming a student at OD体育 if that credit is in a content area deemed academically acceptable to Clark and is from an accredited college or university.

First-year students may be awarded a maximum of eight units of credit (two semesters) for AP credit and/or credit from college courses taken while in high school.
