Already applied and waiting to hear from us? You can check your application status -- or what's missing from your application file -- here.
The Gustavus Admission Office has a holistic approach to admission, which means we evaluate all the information in your application-- not simply “the numbers.” That's much fairer to you and a much better way for us to build a class.
