Applications for admission to the University of Mary Washington are now open for the incoming class of fall 2025 and transfer students. Students can apply to UMW via the Common Application or apply directly to UMW online. Completing the application early gives students the greatest opportunity to earn scholarships, know their admission decision before the spring semester and maximize their senior-year timeline.
“Check it off early, so there’s more time to visit campus, plan your undergraduate experience and make Mary Washington your college home,” said Dean of Admissions and Associate Vice President Melissa Yakabouski.
Nearly 60% of incoming first-year students for fall 2024 applied via early action or early decision to UMW. With the Common Application, it’s even easier to add the University of Mary Washington to a college list early and complete the process.
Common App essay questions include several options, giving students a prompt to discuss an accomplishment, reflect on their thinking, recount lessons learned or define what matters to them. Each is an opportunity to share their experience and goals. In addition, students who complete a “Taking Flight” interview as part of their application process will also be considered for a $1,000-$2,000 scholarship. Registration for the “Taking Flight” interviews is open now and fills up quickly. Read more.
