Admission & Aid
Admitted Students
So you've now been admitted to Whittier College, one of the most prestigious private liberal arts colleges on the West Coast. You're probably asking yourself, "What is the next step? How do I decide if this is really the right school for me?" Fear not! This is absolutely the right question to be asking, and one we hope we can help you make.
BEFORE YOU MAKE THE DECISION
There are a number of ways to learn more about Whittier College, find the necessary facts to answer your questions, and to help you decide if Whittier College is where you belong for the next four years.
One of the best ways to learn more about life at Whittier is to attend the Admitted Students Day, held every year in mid-April. This event is carefully planned to ensure prospective students have the opportunity to see everything the College has to offer. Whether you want to meet professors from various programs, take a tour to see our beautiful campus, or learn more about the clubs that keep our students engaged and involved (there are over 60!), this is a perfect chance to find what it's like to be a Whittier College student.
Another great way to get insider information is through our Online Chat Series, which are scheduled throughout spring. Go online to meet other admitted students, ask questions of our admission staff, and interact with current students or even President Sharon Herzberger. Above all, please know our admission staff is always available to help you decide if Whittier is the right fit for you.

Now you've gotten the facts, you've seen the campus, and you've decided that Whittier College is the place for you. Congratulations!
