EnglishHow to Apply to Lycoming College
Updated
Lycoming College offers more than one way to apply, and the fastest option is the Lyco Fast App: no essay, no test scores, just a short form plus a campus visit, with a decision back in about 2 weeks. If you want the quickest path and are comfortable completing a visit, start there. If you'd rather apply without a visit requirement or want to compare timelines and materials, review the college's full set of application options before submitting.
The Lyco Fast App
The Fast App is built to remove the usual friction from applying. According to the college, it requires:
- No essay
- No test scores
- A short form
- A campus visit
Once those requirements are complete, you'll hear back from Lycoming in 2 weeks.
How to start it
- Go to the Lycoming College website.
- Use the Apply Now or Start Fast App Now link.
- Complete the short form.
- Arrange and complete a campus visit.
- Wait for your decision, expected within about 2 weeks of finishing the requirements.
Expected result: a short, test-optional, essay-free application with a fast turnaround, provided the visit is done.
Other application options
The site notes there are multiple application options and invites students to compare them. That matters if:
- You can't complete a campus visit and need a path that doesn't require one.
- You want to submit test scores or a essay even though the Fast App doesn't ask for them.
- You're weighing deadlines and want the option that fits your schedule.
Use the Compare application options link on the site to see the alternatives side by side before you commit to one route.
