5 months agoHello! It's great that you're considering East Carolina University (ECU) for your college education. I'm happy to help you understand the application requirements. To submit a complete application to ECU, you'll need the following:
1. An online application: ECU accepts applications through the Common App or their own platform, the ECU Application for Undergraduate Admission. Make sure to choose the one that suits you best and fill out all the necessary information.
2. Official high school transcript: This transcript should include all of your high school coursework and grades. Be sure to request this from your high school counselor in a timely manner so it gets sent to ECU on time.
3. Standardized test scores: ECU requires either the SAT or ACT for admission consideration. You'll need to have your official scores sent directly from the testing agency. Note that ECU uses a superscore approach, which means they take the highest section scores across all the test dates you have taken to create a new composite score.
4. Letters of recommendation (optional): ECU does not require letters of recommendation but will consider them if submitted. You can choose to submit letters from teachers, school counselors, or other individuals who can speak to your academic abilities and personal qualities.
5. Personal essay (optional): While an essay is not required, it is strongly encouraged. You can submit an essay on a topic of your choice or use the prompts provided by the Common App. This is an opportunity for the admissions committee to get a sense of who you are beyond your grades and test scores.
6. Application fee: There is a non-refundable $75 application fee. However, fee waivers are available for eligible students, so check with your high school counselor if you think you might qualify.
7. If you're applying to a specific program, such as Fine Arts or Health Sciences, you might need to submit additional materials, like a portfolio or audition. Be sure to review the program-specific requirements on ECU's website for more information.
It's essential to meet application deadlines and submit everything on time, so be sure to double-check all of these requirements on ECU's website to ensure you have the most up-to-date information. Good luck with your application!
