Early Admission
Goucher College will review applications from students with outstanding academic records who have completed fewer than eight semesters of secondary school. Early admission applicants may only submit their application for consideration under the Regular Decision program. These students are required to have an on-campus interview.

The preferred deadline for submitting the completed application is December 1, and notification is rolling thereafter. Students accepted under mid-year admission are requested to return the enrollment agreement and non-refundable $500 enrollment deposit within two weeks of hearing the admissions decision.
