International Applicant Checklist

We're happy that you've decided to apply to Whitman. Here's a list of everything you'll need to do to complete your application. If you have questions about your material, please email international@whitman.edu.

You must submit:

• Common Application
• TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Proficiency exam scores. We will accept self-reported scores, to be confirmed with an official score report at the time of your enrollment. If English is your first language, are currently enrolled at a high school where the primary language of instruction is English, or have spent at least two years at a high school where the primary language of instruction is English, you do not need to submit English Proficiency testing.
• Whitman International Student Financial Aid Application (WISFAA). This is a financial aid application form specifically for international students seeking need-based financial aid. Once you apply to Whitman, the form will be available through Whitman's application portal. Please note that Whitman College does not use the CSS Profile to determine financial aid for international applicants
• $50 application fee (Application fees are waived for all applicants who apply before Dec. 1)

• Teacher evaluation

Optional:

• Official SAT or ACT score report. Whitman is test-optional, however, international applicants are strongly encouraged to submit an ACT or SAT as a way of demonstrating academic preparedness. Please see the full testing policy for more information.
