Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is there an application fee?
No. The Campora application is free for every applicant. The Common App fee is waived if you choose Campora on the Common App.
Are test scores required?
No. Campora is test-optional. If you submit SAT or ACT scores, we consider them; if you do not, you are not disadvantaged.
When will I hear back?
Early Action decisions are released in mid-December. Regular Decision applicants hear by late March. Graduate decisions take about four weeks.
Can I visit before I apply?
Yes — and visiting waives nothing because the application is already free. Tours run every weekday and most Saturdays.
How do I check my status?
Use the reference number from your confirmation email on the Application Status page.
