The primary considerations for undergraduate admission are your artistic and intellectual promise and your academic record. You must have graduated from high school, received an evaluation from your teachers or other responsible officials of the school, and taken an appropriate distribution of high school subjects.
To apply for freshman admission, submit the Common Application (or Universal College Application) and our Pre-Application Data Sheet to:
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
Washington University in St. Louis
Campus Box 1089
One Brookings Drive
St. Louis, MO 63130-4899
Your application must be accompanied by a $55 nonrefundable application fee. You must also submit your official secondary school transcript, a teacher evaluation, SAT or ACT scores, and essay. Art applicants are required to submit a portfolio.
Application forms and full instructions are available on the Undergraduate Admissions website.

Transfer Students
Washington University welcomes eligible transfer students. Students should be aware, however, that requirements for degrees vary from institution to institution. Please note, the College of Architecture accepts a very limited number of transfer students from other colleges and universities or from within the University.
Transfer applicants are required to submit transcripts of all collegiate work undertaken. The applicant should return the Common Application (or Universal College Application) and our Pre-Application Data Sheet with the $55 application fee to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Transfer students are required to submit a portfolio of design/art work at another college or university for review by the Architecture faculty.
