Enrollment:
As a first year applicant, MCLA evaluates you for admission based on high school academic performance and strength of curriculum, standardized test scores, and a personal essay in accordance with guidelines established by the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE). Additionally, we encourage you to visit MCLA for a tour and to schedule a meeting with an admission counselor.
The MCLA Office of Admission will continue to require only high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and personal statements to review first year applicants. As always, students can submit additional materials, such as portfolios and supplemental essays. We will rarely ask for additional documents. Our goal is to learn more about our applicants, outside of test scores, in an effort to enroll students who are prepared for and eager to engage in education and experiences that will elevate them as a whole individual, a leader, and a communicator, fully empowered to make their impression on the world. The MCLA Admission Committee will thoroughly review first year applicants using, but not limited to, the following criteria:
International Student Application Requirements can be found HERE. This policy will go into effect for all applicants, including U.S. citizens and
international students, first-year applicants and transfers, and students attending
public and private schools, and homeschooled applicants.
