The Admissions Application
Below is a list of Minnesota colleges and universities that accept the Common Application when you apply for admissions. If you are planning to apply to more than one of these schools I would suggest to apply using the common application.
Minnesota College And Universities
Augsburg College
Carleton College
College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University
Admissions Application Fee Waiver Request Form!!!
Several of you have expressed concern about paying $25 every time you send in an admissions application. If you're applying to one school it might not be so bad. But if you're applying for more than one school it gets a little expensive. Why pay admission application fees when you don't have to?
Accuplacer and ACT Study Guides and Other Resources!
I've compiled a list of websites that can help you prepare for taking the Accuplacer test and ACT. It is important that you prepare diligently for both tests.
