Accepted Students

Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to Meredith College, one of the largest independent private women’s colleges in the U.S. Here you’ll find an engaging academic environment and a friendly, supportive campus community.

If you’ve decided to come to Meredith, we encourage you to go ahead and submit your deposit and enrollment package. By making your deposit sooner rather than later, you can fully enjoy your senior year, knowing that the important decision about college has been made.

If you’re still thinking about where you want to go to school… great! This is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. We encourage you to take your time and choose the college that is right for you.

Read on for some additional information that you may find helpful. Most important, we encourage you to contact us. Speak with your admissions counselor in person. Watch this video that responds to the question "Is Meredith right for you?" Use The Value of Meredith, an interactive online workbook, to help think through your options. Schedule a visit (even if you’ve already seen campus – it’s ok to come again!).
