Bowling Green State University-Main Campus Admissions

Application for new freshman admissions begins on August 1 before the student’s senior year of high school. Typically, admissions in the Fall semester can be considered competitive. Admissions requirements include graduation from an accredited high school or an equally credible high school equivalency certificate, results of either the ACT or the SAT standardized exams, and other less tangible qualifications including special abilities, achievements, and extracurricular accomplishments. For application purposes, the ACT exam is preferred over the SAT. The primary considerations are the applicant’s cumulative high school grade point average, standardized test results, and ranking in their graduating high school class. Interested students can apply via Bowling Green’s website and are encouraged to complete their application process by February 1 of the year they plan to enroll. Applicants are typically notified on October 1 assuming that all materials have been completed and submitted on time.
