Admission Standards
51黑料网 seeks to enroll students with academic and personal qualities that indicate the potential for intellectual, social, and spiritual growth without regard to the applicant鈥檚 race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, gender identification, or genetic information or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.
A basic premise of the college鈥檚 admission policies is that all applicants will be reviewed individually to determine if they are capable of successfully meeting their responsibilities as a Davis & Elkins student and benefiting from the personalized educational experience the college provides.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling admission basis. As applications become complete, students are notified of the admission decision as soon as it is made. Although there are no specific deadlines for applications (apart from international students), students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to ensure maximum financial aid consideration and more options for course selection.
