Apply to RMC

Unofficial high school transcripts are accepted for application review.

Upon decision to attend RMC, your official high school transcript(s) must be submitted by a school official through the Common Application, a third party electronic service (Scoir, Parchment, etc.), email, or mail. Your final high school transcript will be due upon enrollment.

Additionally, to receive official credit for college courses, including Dual Enrollment (DE) courses, all students must submit their official college transcripts at the time of enrollment. While we can provide unofficial transfer credit evaluations beforehand, official credit will only be granted upon receipt of the official transcripts.

Please note, completion and passing of Algebra II will be required prior to enrollment at Randolph-Macon College.

Your letter of recommendation can be submitted through the Common App, RMC Application, third party electronic service (Scoir, Parchment, etc.), email (admissions@rmc.edu), or mail.

*Please note: Applicants to the Nursing Program are required to submit a letter of recommendation with their application.

Applying with Test Scores

If you’d like to have standardized test results considered in your admission review, please indicate so when prompted on the application. We superscore both the SAT and ACT.

Self-reported scores may be used for application review. Upon enrolling, students who are not test optional must submit their official test scores. These scores can be sent directly through the testing agency, or can be listed on their official high school transcript.

RMC’s test code for SAT is 5566 and for ACT is 4386.

Please note: Homeschool students who were schooled through family-based homeschooling are required to submit ACT or SAT test scores.

Applying Test Optional

If you do not want standardized test results considered in your admission review, please indicate so when prompted on the application.

Applying to Randolph-Macon is always free.

After submitting your application, you’ll receive an email that contains instructions for accessing your YJ Applicant Portal. This is where you’ll view your materials checklist and application status.

We believe that test scores only tell one piece of your story. If you feel your test scores reflect your academic abilities, please submit them. If you feel your test scores do not reflect your academic abilities and potential, you can apply test-optional.

Choosing test-optional means we’ll omit standardized test scores in the review of your admissions application.

Nope! In fact, most of our students start as undecided. At Randolph-Macon, you’ll be encouraged to explore a variety of disciplines before landing on an academic path. You’ll work with a team of mentors who’ll get to know your goals, interests, and professional aspirations. By the second semester of your sophomore year, you’ll be armed with the knowledge and experience you’ll need to confidently declare a major.

A first-year student is someone who has recently graduated from high school (or obtained a GED) and plans to begin their undergraduate studies at Randolph-Macon. Upon enrolling, these students will embark on their initial year of pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
