Applications are received on a rolling basis with two primary notification dates
depending on the date the application is complete in the Admissions Office. Students
who are interested in applying
Early Action must submit a complete application by December 1st and will be notified
of the admissions decision by January 15th. Applicants who apply by the Regular Decision
date of February 1st will be notified of the admissions decision by April 1st.
Students who do not meet the February 1st date may still apply to the University. However, these applications will be considered if space is available
and decisions will be mailed on a rolling notification basis. While admission to
Radford is selective, decisions are based on a number of factors. The committee
is interested in the complete student -- the unique combination of skills, interests
and motivation that will enable a student to be successful at Radford and in the
world beyond. Students should feel free to include personal comments and recommendations.
Students are selected on the basis of:
- High school record (including course of study, grade point average,
class rank, academic trend)
- Results of the SAT I or ACT
- Involvement in extracurricular and community activities
Note: Beginning with students applying as freshmen for the fall
of 2003, Radford University began requiring a minimum of three years of college
preparatory math. These courses must include Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2.
