To be considered for freshman admission at Austin College, you must expect to graduate from an accredited secondary school or home school equivalent within the next year. In considering your application for admission, we’ll be looking for glimpses of the whole person in order to determine whether you’re right for us and us for you. We expect your extracurricular activities, admission essay and interview with a member of our admission staff to tell us the rest of the story about who you are and what you value.
