Class Profile

Whitman College is a community of athletes, artists, actors, scientists, entrepreneurs, orators, leaders, valedictorians and volunteers, but that is only before you really get to know us.

Whitman is honored to attract down-to-earth, high-achieving students who bring diverse interests. We seek to enroll talented students who want to become part of our engaging community of scholars. In the admission process, Whitman's Office of Admission values a highly personalized approach which considers motivation, concern for others, and potential contributions to campus, as well as the traditional essays, letters of recommendation, grades, and test scores.
