Virtual Tour: Admissions

[Next] __ [Previous] __ [Overview] __ [Help] __ [More Info]

There is no such thing as a "typical" Seton Hall student; our students have a wonderful variety of backgrounds, styles, beliefs, appearances and personalities. The Office of Admissions respects this dedication to diversity, therefore we review each application carefully and personally. Some applications are reviewed for hours by the Committee of Admissions before a decision is rendered!

If you decide to apply to Seton Hall, you should know there are certain admission requirements that we don't often waive; for instance, you really need to complete 16 academic units in high school. These are:

English 4 units
Social Studies 2 units
Foreign Language 2 units
Algebra 1 1 unit
Plane Geometry 1 unit
Algebra 2 1 unit
Science (laboratory) 1 unit
Approved Electives 4 units

You also must earn an accredited secondary school diploma (a secondary school equivalency diploma may submitted be as well). We do require that you submit standardized test score results; the SAT or ACT scores fit this requirement. (If you are an international applicant whose first language is not English, the TOEFL should also be submitted.) Seton Hall believes test scores are best evaluated in the context of the overall secondary school record, and while there is no minimum score required, you might want to consider this about our enrolled students: we anticipate that the middle 50% recentered range for SAT scores will be approximately 960 to 1150 combined, and ACT composite scores typically range between 20 and 24.

Seton Hall uses a rolling admissions process, and we accept students regardless of their ability to pay.

You are strongly encouraged to visit the Seton Hall campus in person, and although an interview is not required, we recommend you schedule one. If you want to be contacted by an admissions staff member to arrange a visit and/or tour, please . If you'd like to receive our Seton Hall viewbook and an application, just complete the form at the end of this tour.
