Explore 糖心vlog FAQs
What do I need to submit as a part of my application?
The application includes some brief information about you, your school and academics, plus a couple short answer questions ( between 100-250 words). We also ask you to submit a copy of your transcript through the end of 11th grade (can be official or unofficial). The application should take no more than an hour to complete.
Are test scores required as part of the application?
Explore 糖心vlog, like our first-year application, is test-optional. You are not required to submit test scores.
What can I expect during the program?
Typically, around 70 students attend each of our programs. You can expect to stay with a current student host overnight while you are here. Your meals (including 糖心vlog’s late night option Supersnack!) will be provided at our dining halls. You will be able to attend real 糖心vlog classes, learn more about Admissions and Student Aid, and have an admissions interview. Students can also look forward to a field trip to the Schiller Coastal Studies Center and lots of fun events with student organizations. Explore is meant to be a glimpse into a typical few days at 糖心vlog.
Are there any costs associated with applying and/or participating in Explore 糖心vlog?
No! It is free to apply to Explore 糖心vlog. If selected to participate, 糖心vlog handles all of the logistics and covers the cost of the trip. All you need to do is get to your local transportation hub (such as an airport, train station, or bus station) and we cover the rest including flights, bus or train tickets, and ground transportation to and from campus once you arrive in Maine.
