Auburn Admissions Update

Senior Parents:
I'd like to share with you my admissions update from Mr. Billy Fisher at Auburn. I will post all future college and scholarship updates here on my page and will send the same information to seniors in our group me. 
Let me know if you have any questions! 
 
"I hope you all are doing well and have had a great summer! With fall rapidly approaching, I wanted to touch base with you regarding a few updates to Auburn University’s admissions process this year.
  1. Our Fall 2024 freshman admissions application will now open on August 15th (instead of August 1st). The dates and deadlines will be as follows:

Round 1: September 15th (receives admissions decision in mid-October)

Round 2: October 15th (receives admissions decision in mid-November)

Round 3: November 15th (receives admissions decision in mid-December)

Early Action*: December 1st (receives admissions decision in mid-January)

Regular Decision: February 1st (receives admissions decision in early March)

*Students must complete their admissions application file by December 1st at the latest in order to be eligible to apply for scholarships*

  1. Good News! We will accept the ACT superscore report this year for both admissions and scholarship purposes.
  2. If a student completes their admissions application file by December 1st, we will use their highest ACT or SAT superscore in our system on January 10, 2024 for scholarship consideration.
  3. Lastly, I wanted to remind you of our test-optional policy. Auburn University is a test-preferred institution, but does offer a test-optional admissions pathway for students with a 3.6 or higher weighted/cumulative GPA. This is not a minimum to be accepted for admission. It is just a minimum to apply as a test-optional applicant. If you, your students or their parents have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to let me know or direct them my way."
