Admissions

Applying to St. John's

You may apply to St. John’s in one of three ways:

1) Online through The Common Application and Supplement
2) Print and submit a paper copy of The Common Application and Supplement
3) Print and submit a paper copy of the St. John’s College Application for Admission

We have no preference, and the Admissions Committee gives equal consideration to applications submitted in any of these ways.

If you choose to use the St. John’s paper application, you need to respond to the three required essay prompts on the application form, and you may also respond to the fourth (optional ) prompt if you wish. If you choose to use The Common  Application, online or on paper, you will need to file the St. John’s College Supplement as well. In this case, you need to respond to any one of the essay prompts on The Common Application itself and also to the first two prompts on the supplement; you may also respond to the third (optional) prompt on the supplement if you wish. The application procedure is the same for first-time college applicants and for transfer applicants. The online version of The Common Application is available on August 1st; the paper version of The Common Application and the St. John’s College Application for Admission may be submitted at any time.
 
The Two Campuses
Because St. John's College is one college located on two campuses (Annapolis and Santa Fe), applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other. Admission to either campus, however, constitutes admission to the College as a whole. You should submit your application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus you prefer to attend. Approved applicants may change their campus preference up until they submit an enrollment deposit.
