Admissions FAQ
Someone told me that I could get my application fee waived if I visit campus. How
do I schedule a visit?
I haven’t graduated yet but would like to go ahead and apply. What can I do about
my official high school transcript?
My dad’s the pastor of my church. What should I do about a pastor’s recommendation?
Why do you ask for a photograph?
Do I need to wait until I get all my application materials together before sending
them in?
Where can I find information about taking the SAT Reasoning Test?
- Someone told me that I could get my application fee waived if I visit campus. How
do I schedule a visit?
You’re right – by making an official campus visit, you don’t have to pay that fee! GBSC considers a visit important for
learning about the College and acclimating to campus life. Just call Student Recruitment to schedule a visit (800-486-4637),
or join many others in visiting on VIP Day (held each spring).
- I haven’t graduated yet but would like to go ahead and apply. What can I do about
my official high school transcript?
Send your most recent high school transcript for now; we can use that for the admissions process. Then send an official
transcript as soon as you graduate.
- My dad’s the pastor of my church. What should I do about a pastor’s recommendation?
We prefer that recommendations be completed by someone other than a relative. Please have an associate pastor, deacon,
or other church leader write the recommendation.
- Why do you ask for a photograph?
The pictures are a form of ID and serve as reminders to our student recruiters. (They see thousands of students each summer
and might have forgotten your last name.) Snapshots are great.
- Do I need to wait until I get all my application materials together before sending
them in?
Please send each application item as you get it done. Recommendation forms should be sent directly from the one filling
out the form, as the forms are confidential.
- Where can I find information about taking the SAT Reasoning Test?
The SAT is offered only seven times each year and requires advance registration. You can find information regarding specific
dates and registration from your high school or at www.collegeboard.com. Please include GBSC’s code, 1238, on
your SAT registration so the scores will be sent directly to us.
