The below information is required while
completing the university application :
Online Application Form (Common App + Writing Supplement)
Start with the Common Application. Warren Wilson does away with an application fee, making things simpler. Be sure to complete their writing supplement thoughtfully—it’s not a checkbox. That optional prompt gives you room to explain how your experiences, community engagement, or passions shaped you—and why they matter to W&L.
2. Official High School Transcript (or GED)
You must submit your official transcript showing your graduation date. Warren Wilson evaluates applicants holistically, welcoming GPAs from ~2.5 to 4.0—but they ask for a college-prep curriculum: English, algebra, lab sciences, social sciences, and ideally a foreign language.
3. Letter of Recommendation (Counselor or Teacher)
Only one recommendation is encouraged—not required. But if you can submit up to three, even better. Choose someone who knows you beyond the grades—someone who can speak to your curiosity, character, or leadership. These help the admissions team see who you are.
4. Standardized Test Scores (Optional—SAT/ACT)
Warren Wilson is test-optional. That means you don’t have to submit your SAT or ACT. But if your score strengthens your profile, go ahead and send it. They use it as one of many pieces of the puzzle, not the centerpiece.
5. Proof of English Proficiency (International Applicants Only)
If English isn't your first language or your schooling wasn’t in English, you must show proficiency. Acceptable options include:
TOEFL iBT (79+)
IELTS (6.5+)
Duolingo (100+)
Other tests like ITEP, GTEC, or SAT/ACT reading scores in lieu
All documents must be in English or accompanied by certified translations.

Warren Wilson was ranked among the top green colleges in the nation by The Princeton Review, highlighting its sustainability-focused curriculum and campus practices.
Warren Wilson College became one of the first institutions in the U.S. to achieve carbon neutrality, reflecting its leadership in sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The college was recognized as a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to effective urban forest management and engaging students in tree conservation.
Students working in fine woodworking and forest crews take timber from Warren Wilson’s own 600-acre managed forest. They mill, sculpt, and build chairs, bowls, pens, and more—literally building functional objects from campus-grown trees. It’s local, sustainable, educational—and the result is physical craftsmanship shaped by environmental stewardship. That’s invention rooted in land.
Taking sustainability seriously, the college cataloged over 1,153 trees across campus, tagging each one and measuring trunk diameter. The result? An assessment valuing $11 million in structural integrity, and calculating that the campus landscape stores 2,419 tons of carbon—and sequesters 68 tons per year. That’s an inventive use of data to chart environmental footprint in real time.
The college’s working 110-acre farm is both agriculturally productive and a living classroom. Pre-vet students care for animals, business students sell produce, agriculture students learn sustainable farming—all within an integrated model where food, education, and business coalesce into practice-driven innovation
