You are invited to apply for admission to Rose-Hulman in the fall prior to the year you wish to be admitted - for incoming first-year students, that's the fall of your senior year.
A completed application for admission should include:
- Submitted application
- High school transcript
- Letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor or principal (homeschooled students must have a recommendation from someone other than the parent)
- A non-refundable application fee of $65 or a qualified fee waiver
- International applicants must also supply an affidavit of financial support and official TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo scores.
Optional: Domestic students attending high school in the US can submit a 60-90 second Glimpse video () allowing us to get to know you better. Students who choose not to submit a Glimpse video are at no disadvantage in the review process. For International students and domestic students attending high school abroad, Rose-Hulman will accept interviews from InitialView (). Similar to Glimpse videos, InitialView interviews are not required and applicants without one are at no disadvantage in our review process.
Applicants can choose to apply Early Action (non-binding) or Regular Decision. If you apply Early Action and you do not have all application materials in by the deadline, your application will be moved to Regular Decision.
- August 1-Feb 1: Applications Accepted
- November 1: Early Action Deadline
- December 15: Early Action Admission Decisions
- February 1: Regular Decision Deadline
- March 15: Regular Decision Admission Decisions
- May 1: Enrollment Deposit Due
If accepted, you'll be asked to send a non-refundable enrollment deposit by May 1. It saves your spot in the freshman class and is credited toward your tuition and fees. The housing application will be sent to you after the May 1 deadline.
Once admitted and prior to registration, an official copy of your high school transcript with graduation date must be received by the Office of Admissions.
