Admission
Wheaton enrolls a diverse group of students who share certain characteristics: the desire to explore knowledge in the classroom and in the world, the willingness to seek challenges and the confidence to participate in the exchange of ideas.
Admission is very competitive and is based on both the applicant’s academic and personal qualifications. Wheaton students come from hundreds of different secondary schools each year, and the college recognizes and values the variations in curricular background and academic preparation represented among applicants. Each student’s secondary school performance and background will be considered individually in assessing his or her potential for success at Wheaton.
It is the college’s policy to admit students without regard to gender, race, color, creed, national origin or sexual orientation. Wheaton complies with the requirements set forth in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, and the regulations in implementation thereof.
