Editor's notes
- If your ACT is near 21 or above, send it. Cumberland is test-optional for fall 2027, but it strongly encourages scores for scholarships, and scoreless students may be placed into entry-level math and English.
- Apply by Oct. 15 to hear by Nov. 1. If your GPA is under 3.0, finish the Personal Statement and Resilience Questionnaire at the same time so your file isn't held up.
