That’s why we’re taking some of the anxiety out of the college application process.
High school seniors and transfer students can now find out immediately whether they’ve
been admitted to Wilkes.
The process is easy. Call for an on-campus, weekday appointment with a Wilkes admissions
counselor. As you tour the Wilkes University campus, admissions officers will review
your file and give you an answer before you head home.

What will I need to bring with me so that I can receive an Instant Decision?
Students who are current high school seniors are able to receive an instant decision during their visit as long as you complete an online application at least 24 hours before the scheduled visit day, and bring the following:
-
Official high school transcript (in a sealed envelope from the high school) -
Official SAT/ACT scores submitted, if not listed on the high school transcript - Scores may be printed at Wilkes if you know your login information for either CollegeBoard or ACT.
Instant Decisions are not available for the pharmacy guaranteed seat program and some health science programs, as they may require a secondary application for acceptance into these competitive programs.
Due to volume, the university is unable to offer Instant Decisions to students who schedule a campus visit on weekends.
Students who have attended a college after their high school graduation are considered transfer students. Transfers students are able to receive an instant decision during their visit as long as you complete an online application at least 24 hours before the scheduled visit day, and bring the following:
- Official high school transcript and SAT or ACT scores (these requirements may be waived if a student has attempted at least 30 college credits)
- Official college/university transcripts from all institutions attended (transcripts must be in a sealed envelope from the school)
Pharmacy: Instant Decisions are available for pre-pharmacy, but not for our Professional Pharmacy program as there is a separate application and process for our Pharm D. program.
Credit evaluations, consisting of how courses will transfer, will be completed separately and mailed with acceptance packets. Please click here for information on our transfer process and how your courses may transfer.
