Mount Allison students are active and accomplished both inside and outside of the classroom. Our admissions process is unique because it considers the whole person.

A strong academic record is the first indication of potential to succeed at the university level, and we also recognize students who have a well-balanced record of academic and extracurricular activities.

In particular, our admissions decisions are based on your academic record, leadership skills, a high level of commitment, and the potential for personal growth. We encourage you to show us evidence of your extracurricular involvement, volunteer activities in school and in the community, and work experience. Tell us as much about yourself as you like.
