4. Secondary School Report and Teacher Recommendation Form

Your advisor or guidance counselor should complete the Secondary School Report and submit it directly to Beloit with your high school transcript.

We also require a recommendation from one of your teachers, preferably someone who has taught you within the last year.

5. Official Secondary School Transcripts

Your college advisor/guidance counselor should send us official copies of your high school transcript/s.

Beloit has no absolute secondary school requirements, but gives preference to applicants who have challenged themselves in a demanding college preparatory program.  This includes four years of English and three years of a foreign language, three years of college preparatory mathematics, three years of laboratory science, and four years of history or social science.

 6. Standardized Tests

SAT/ACT: Submit results of the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT exam to the Admissions Office.  Beloit considers your highest section scores across all SAT test dates that you submit.  Our code numbers are SAT - 1059 and ACT - 4564.

SAT Subject Tests are optional. Beloit College does not consider the SAT or ACT Writing Exam.

TOEFL: Every applicant for whom English is a second language should take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Optional Components:

1. Interviews

A great way to learn more about Beloit College—and help us learn more about you—is an interview. At Beloit, the interview is more a conversation than an interrogation. We love to hear your goals, interests, experiences, and questions. Contact the Office of Admissions to set up a campus visit  [link to “Visit” section] or learn when we’ll be offering interviews in your area.

2. Additional Letters of Recommendation

We welcome recommendations from faculty, parents, employers, advisors or others who might provide further insight about you. 

3. Creative Samples

You may submit samples of creative work (poetry, photography, art, music recordings, research, etc.). Please send only copies, slides, or photographs of originals.
