Direct Admissions Student Center

You’ll receive an email with:

• A list of colleges and universities you qualify for through Direct Admissions, grouped by region and institution type to help you explore your options.
• Direct links to each college’s website.
• A survey link to select your colleges of interest.

When you open your survey link, you’ll go through two quick steps:

1. Direct Admissions Form

• This form looks like your email, but now you can select the colleges you want to move forward with.
• Choose as many as you’d like, those colleges will be notified.

2. Additional Information Form

• After you pick your colleges, you’ll see a second form with some additional information for the schools
• You can speed up the FREE application process by completing this optional survey after you have made your college and university selections.

You can make changes to your survey at any time:

• Reopen your survey link anytime. The form will show the last information you submitted, so you can easily review or make changes.
• Add, remove, or change your college selections.
• Update your optional information.
• Each time you submit changes; you’ll get a confirmation email.

Tip: If your GPA changes, you can connect with your counselor to receive a new survey link with updated college options. Always use the survey link in the most recent email to make your selections.

Up to this point the steps have been the same for all colleges: 

• You made your college selections through your personalized survey.
• OHE shared your proactive admission request with the schools you selected. 

Next, depending on the college, you will be asked to do one of the following: 

• Complete Additional Data Form in Student Survey — Student must complete the additional supplemental data form in the survey notification portal to have the college create an application.
• Complete the full application – You will receive a link in an email to complete the college’s application and will be asked to submit additional materials (letter of reference, personal essay, etc.). You should supply the requested materials.
• Complete a partially completed or simplified application – You will receive a link in an email to complete the college’s application, but it will ask fewer questions and you might not be required to submit additional materials (letter of reference, personal essay, etc.). Most colleges have eliminated these requirements for Direct Admissions students. That said, some of these materials are used to determine institutional scholarships, so it may still be in your best interest to submit them if you need financial aid.
• Complete an additional information form, but not the application – You will receive a link in an email to complete the college’s “additional information requested form,” but not an application and you will not be asked to submit additional materials (letter of reference, personal essay, etc.)
