Imagine your life at Menlo by interacting live on video with one of our Student Ambassadors in a “Day in the Life” virtual tour. We also have engaging virtual and in-person events throughout the semester. Let us know when you want to attend!
It’s never too early to apply for admission. Apply to Menlo early in your senior year. Please be sure to visit our first-year requirements section for details on what documents are required for admission.

Menlo College is committed to enrolling students who demonstrate academic potential, strong moral character, and a commitment to personal and intellectual growth.
Please review the requirements below to complete your application.
Next, you’ll submit your application for admission. Candidates are encouraged to complete the Menlo College First-Year Express Application to fast-track your admissions decision. You are also welcome to apply using the Common Application. Only one application is required.
All first-year applicants must submit their high school transcript(s). Transcripts may be submitted electronically through our secure upload link (emailed to you after submitting the Menlo First-Year Express Application), via the Common Application, through an electronic transcript service such as Parchment or Naviance, or by mail.
If you have taken any college courses while in high school (e.g., Dual Enrollment, Middle College), please also submit those college transcripts for a review of transfer credits (Reference Transferring Your Credits and Current Agreements).
Note: We accept unofficial transcripts for preliminary assessment, but final official high school transcripts, including graduation date if applicable, are required before students may attend classes. Official transcripts must be sent via an electronic transcript service (i.e., Parchment) or by mail.
While submitting a personal essay is optional, it can provide us with additional insights into your background, interests, or goals. If you choose to submit one, you can upload it directly through the Menlo College Express application or include it in the Common App.
A letter of recommendation is optional unless specifically requested by the Office of Admissions. However, it will not disadvantage your application if you choose to submit one. Your letter of recommendation must be submitted by your recommender directly. If you choose to include one, you may provide your recommender’s information in the Menlo College Express Application, and they will receive upload instructions. If you’re applying through the Common App, your recommender may upload it via the Common App.
Menlo College grants college credit for AP, International Baccalaureate (IB) (higher level only), and A-Level exams. Please submit official test scores to receive credit.
Official test scores may be submitted in the following ways:
Please see the course equivalency guides for specific information:
Menlo College does not require students to submit SAT/ACT test scores as part of the application process and will not use them in our admission decisions.
At Menlo College, we’re redefining undergraduate business education. We provide students with the support and foundation they need to elevate their potential and make a difference.
