Tips for Getting In
  • Apply early. Most students procrastinate, so take advantage of the waived admission fee and make your decision earlier about where you actually will go.
  • The interview is a great time to connect with the Eckerd community, as well as ask questions and show interest in the school or a future major.
  • Participate in volunteer or extracurricular activities that interest you and help lend perspective to your application.
  • Playing a sport can really help ease the burden of financial aid and open up additional doors and opportunities.
  • Put time and thought into your essay. Remember, it’s not just to demonstrate you can write well—an interesting essay can help you stand out from a stack of identical essays and applicants.
  • Show interest in Eckerd: attend prospective student day, take a tour, or attend a class. These are all great ways to network and gauge your potential fit at the school.
  • Take the AP or IB tests if possible. They boost your GPA, show potential aptitude in higher education, and can help you earn credit hours or lessen the Western Heritage in a Global Context requirement to one semester instead of two.
