Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ

• Completed Common Application
• Essay/personal statement
• Academic letter of reference
• Secondary school report, also from your guidance counselor. This tells Bryant about your high school, its many students, the courses they teach, and so on.
• Official transcript showing senior courses and most recent grades. Minimum of 16 units must include:
  • 4 years of English
  • 4 years of math
  • 2 years of language 
  • 2 years of social science
  • 2 years of lab science
  • 2 years of additional academic discipline (math, language, etc.)
• $50 non-refundable application fee. (Application fee waivers are available to candidates with financial hardship. Please discuss your situation with an admission staff member.)
• Official SAT or ACT scores or test-optional essays (learn more about our test-optional policy)

If you choose, your  SAT or ACT scores can be submitted as one component of your application to Bryant. The average SAT score for Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Class of 2027 is 1250.

Submitting your test scores, however, is optional.

We seek bright students who are self-directed, passionate about the possibilities that a college education offers, and who want to make a difference in their communities and the world. The test-optional alternative allows us to consider strengths that may be demonstrated in areas other than your ACT or SAT score.

While the high school transcript remains the most important part of the evaluation, we strongly believe that by allowing you to make the decision about how to best present your academic potential, you are taking ownership of your college education. 

The decision to apply test-optional is a personal one. Consider your decision carefully. Once you have submitted your application, you will be unable to change your option. The academic profile of the most recently accepted class may offer some guidance in making your decision.

More questions? Contact an admission counselor. 

We urge all interested students to apply for financial aid, even if you think you don’t qualify. Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determines your eligibility for a wide range of aid, from scholarships and grants (which do not need to be repaid) to work-study and federal loans.

You’ll submit your FAFSA along with your application for admission. If accepted to Bryant, you’ll receive your financial aid package with your acceptance letter.

Interviews are not required, but they do provide a great opportunity for you to ask questions and advocate for yourself. They are also a chance for an admission staff member to learn more about you in a one-on-one setting.

Your interview will be conducted by an admission counselor or an Admission Fellow, a select group of our upperclass students. Notes taken during your interview will be added to your application for review.

You can begin your application process by creating an account for the Common Application. You will be required to create a login and password, allowing you to save and add to your application as needed before you are ready to submit it to Bryant.
