Wentworth evaluates all admission applications on a rolling admissions basis; with priority application deadline of February 15 for the fall semester (and December 1 for spring semester entry). Rolling admissions means that the admissions committee will evaluate an application when all the necessary documentation has been submitted. While the Admissions Committee will continue to review applications until the incoming freshman class is fully enrolled, it is possible that specific majors and on-campus housing will be filled by February 15.

Housing is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis to accepted students who have submitted both tuition and housing deposits with their housing application. We strongly encourage you to apply as early as possible.

Application Form
There are two ways to submit an application:

1. Online – $10 application fee, with secure server transaction available for credit card payment (see additional benefits and features of submitting an electronic application online)
2. Paper – $30 application fee (PDF International Application)

Be sure to answer all questions completely, and submit all supporting documents including English language proficiency, official academic transcripts, and documentation of financial support.

Official transcripts of secondary education
These documents must bear an official signature, in ink, of the appropriate official of your school, such as the registrar or recorder of records. They must also bear the institution's seal. If the institution will not mail the original academic documents to the United States, exact copies, which have been certified as such by the appropriate official of each school attended, may be sent. If the documents are in a language other than English, they must be accompanied by official English translations.

English proficiency
All applicants for whom English is not a first language must show proof of English proficiency. Please see the English Proficiency Requirements.

Please note that official results of the TOEFL must be sent directly to Wentworth through the Educational Testing Service (ETS) or the College Board.Wentworth's school code is 3958. If you choose to take the IELTS exam official results must be sent to the school.  Photocopies are not acceptable.

Declaration and certification of finances
International Applicants must complete the Financial Information Form AND document their ability to meet all educational and personal expenses. Wentworth is required by the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Services to verify the financial resources of students prior to issuing a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20). Although students are permitted to work on campus during the academic year, they should not expect employment to be a significant means of support while attending Wentworth Institute of Technology. Financial assistance is not available to international students.

Declaration and Certification of Finances (required if you will need an immigration document from Wentworth):

• Students must provide proof of funding for at least the equivalent to USD$39,105 for residential students and USD$40,160 for commuter students. The U.S. Consulate will require the same documentation, we suggest you obtain two (2) original letters, one for your records and one for us. We will not accept photocopies or faxes of financial documentation.

Official transcripts of post-secondary education from each post-secondary school attended
These records should indicate the number of lecture and/or laboratory hours per week and the grade received for each course. To be evaluated for transfer credits, a catalog or syllabus form each post-secondary school attended (containing course descriptions) must also be submitted. If the documents are in a language other than English, they must be accompanied by the official English translations.

A written personal statement
All applicants are required to submit a personal statement or essay as part of their application. This essay (250 to 500 words) is your opportunity to tell us what you would like us to know about you that grades and test score won't necessarily reveal. For example, you may want to tell us about the impact of an after-school job, the influence of a favorite teacher, or how you dealt with an unexpected situation. Additionally, you may want to submit an activities page or a resume.

Recommendation
A letter of recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor required. Additional recommendations from teachers, employers, or coaches are optional. Please make sure you provide our address and phone number to all organizations and individuals who are providing information for your application:
