WPI’s applicants are high achievers and enthusiastic about math and science, but admission isn’t based only on academics. We care about the whole student and like to see diverse interests and activities that reveal curiosity and passion. As a test-blind institution, WPI does not factor SAT or ACT scores into our admission decisions. Students coming from high school or a gap year are considered first-year applicants and admission begins in the fall. Visit www.wpi.edu/+apply to learn more about application rounds and deadlines.
Students currently attending a two- or four-year accredited institution may apply to WPI as transfer students for fall and spring enrollment. Transcripts should demonstrate a strong background in math, science, and computer or engineering coursework. WPI looks for students who show diverse interests in areas beyond STEM, including the arts and humanities. The free WPI Transfer Application is available at www.wpi.edu/+transfer for both spring and fall consideration. More information about requirements and deadlines are available at this site as well. As with first-year applications, the SAT and ACT are not part of our application.
