Admission to Fisk is, and traditionally has been, selective. Today's entering students are typically ranked in the top fifth of their high school classes. Almost all are ranked in the top half. We seek to enroll men and women who will benefit from a liberal arts experience and equip them for intellectual and social leadership. FISK looks for strong academic achievement combined with personal characteristics such as creativity, motivation, curiosity, community service, and leadership ability. Academic strength is always the starting point for assessing a student’s candidacy. However, there is no single formula or strategy that one may utilize to gain admission to Fisk. If you have been very successful in high school and believe that Fisk would be the right place for you, there are several ways to make application to Fisk: 1) regular paper application, the Common Application, the EDU Online application, or our online application. Beginning July 1, 2008, the Office of Admission will no longer produce a printed application. Those interested in applying may continue to download a printable application (Adobe Acrobat is required) or apply electronically.
