Our admission process is highly personalized; You are not just a number and you are more than a name.

We do not place emphasis on standardized test scores and do not require them to be submitted with the application - we believe that four years of demonstrated academic ability provide a more accurate understanding of your intellect.  Our “whole person” approach requires much more individualized attention to students than is typical of most colleges, but we believe that such effort is necessary in order to enroll a highly qualified class with the greatest potential for success.

New England College has a rolling admission policy. Decisions are made on applications as they become complete (typically within two weeks). Applications are reviewed throughout the entire year: so it is never too late to apply!
