Admission Decisions
Thiel College offers admission on a rolling basis and will review a completed application once the essay, letter of recommendation, official transcripts and official SAT/ACT test scores are received. An admissions committee reviews complete applications each week and makes decisions on a rolling basis. This means that once your application is complete, you will be notified of a decision within two weeks.

Academic Preparation
Preference will be given to those students who have shown the ability to do college work as demonstrated by their high school records. Thiel expects a student to have completed at least sixteen units of high school work by the conclusion of the senior year. It is strongly recommended that the student take: 4 years of English, 2 years of a foreign language, 2 years of mathematics, 2 years of science and 3 years of social science.

A student preparing for college study in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences should complete three years of mathematics and science.

The pre-engineering student must have an adequate math background to begin the calculus sequence during the first term of the freshman year and at least one year of high school chemistry. A high school course in physics is also recommended.

A student having a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) must submit a copy of the diploma with test results in addition to an official transcript of all high school work completed.
