Stonehill College

Is Stonehill test-optional?

Stonehill College is test-blind, which means that it does not allow applicants to submit their SAT or ACT scores. That means that they won’t consider these scores from any applicant. Decisions are based more heavily on grades, extracurricular activities, essays, interviews, and other factors.

What is the application deadline at Stonehill?

Students must apply by February 15 to enroll at Stonehill during the fall semester. Remember that college applications involve many pieces, including essays, a transcript, letters of recommendation, and more. Be sure to start your application as soon as you can to make sure you have enough time to make it as compelling as possible.

At Stonehill students also have the opportunity to apply Early Decision. In order to take advantage of this option, you’ll have to have your application in by December 1.

You can also choose to apply Early Decision II, with a later deadline of February 1.

Should I apply Regular or Early Decision to Stonehill?

Applying to Stonehill with Early Decision can be a great decision if you are 100% sure you want to go there. You’ll find out your admissions decision earlier than other students, and some data shows that you may help your admissions chances. However, you should keep in mind that Early Decision is binding. If you do get into the school, you won’t be able to change your mind later. If there is any doubt in your mind, you should apply Early Action or Regular Decision instead.
