We believe that every member of our diverse community has something equally important to contribute in shaping the community.
This belief naturally leads us to an admission process that relies on a holistic, comprehensive review in which each application is treated personally and individually, with extraordinary care, and with great attention to detail and personal context. There are no equations employed in the application review process - it is a time-intensive and personal process aimed at getting to know each applicant as a complete person.
At Haverford College, we accept the Common Application, Questbridge Application, or the Coalition Application in addition to a brief supplement.

For nearly 170 years Haverford has worked to advance peace and non-violence as a deeply held expression of our Quaker values. Through non-violent protest, political activism, and an unwavering commitment to social justice, we seek to improve our world, and we expect that many of the students who seek to join this community will do the same.
We want to assure any students who choose to participate in peaceful protests, non-violent civil disobedience, and other non-violent actions that this will not be held against them in the admission process.
