Bennington College

Admission Requirements

Bennington looks for students who are alive to the possibilities of what a college education might be and whose passionate curiosity is matched by a capacity for self-discipline. While all parts of each student's application are considered with great care-essays, recommendations, transcripts, class rankings, test scores-the admissions interview is treated with particular seriousness. There are no formulas by which admissions decisions are calculated.

SAT I and ACT scores are required. SAT II scores are recommended.

Students interested in early admission may apply for admission prior to the completion of high school. Transfer students are accepted for enrollment in the fall and spring terms.
