Norwich reviews applicants based on the following criteria, in order of importance:
Academic preparedness

- Four years of English
- Four years of math
- Three to four years of laboratory science
- Three years of social science

Résumé (optional)
It is advised, but not mandatory, to submit a résumé. Tell us about your activities, sports, volunteer work and leadership positions. We look for students who are motivated, value service to others and show initiative.
Admissions essay (optional)
An essay strengthens your application. It should be short—one page is ideal. We recommend you use this essay to highlight something we don’t know about you.
Letters of recommendation (optional)
Letters from teachers, coaches, counselors, JROTC instructors or employers are optional but strongly recommended. Two is an ideal number.
SAT Scores (optional)
No academic programs except nursing require SAT or ACT exam submissions.
Update: due to COVID-19’s effect on the availability of standardized-testing, Norwich University will be waiving the requirement for SAT or ACT exams for students applying to our undergraduate Nursing program for fall 2021 admission.
