Hartwick describes its admissions approach as holistic, meaning your application should help the college understand both your academic preparation and your broader interests and experiences.

Present complete and accurate academic records.
Explain why your chosen subject interests you.
Prepare a thoughtful personal statement.
Include meaningful extracurricular activities, leadership, community involvement, or relevant experience.
Meet the required English-proficiency and financial-documentation requirements.
