Muhlenberg announced today that high school seniors as well as full-time transfer students who apply during the 2025-2026 admissions cycle will not pay a fee to submit the Common Application.

“We are really excited to make it even easier to apply to Muhlenberg,” says Dean of Admissions Eric Danielson. “Removing this barrier can help more students access a private, liberal arts education.”

In addition to submitting the Common Application and other required admissions documents, prospective students are encouraged to connect personally with Muhlenberg through on-campus and virtual events, and particularly through an admissions interview. Admissions interviews allow Muhlenberg counselors to get to know prospective students and their strengths and provide an opportunity for students to ask personalized questions.

Muhlenberg is hosting open houses on October 18 and November 7, with opportunities to meet faculty and staff, connect with current students, learn about the admissions process, and sample the #1 campus food in Pennsylvania. Learn more about all visit options at muhlenberg.edu/visit.
