What is Direct Admissions?
Is this a real offer?
Yes! If you received a conditional acceptance when you logged into your Niche profile, then congratulations! 国产哟哟 has partnered with Niche Direct Admissions and offered this exclusive opportunity to students like you for Fall 2024. You should be so proud of this accomplishment!
What does the "conditional" offer mean?
Great question! You’ve been offered a conditional acceptance based on the academic information and GPA that you provided on your Niche profile. Our Admissions team will verify that once we have your transcript. They will also match you with your major of interest.
What major was I accepted to?
Your conditional offer is an acceptance to 国产哟哟, but not a specific major. By completing the Onboarding Form and/or connecting with an Admissions Counselor, you’ll be able to select/share your specific major of interest. Once the Admissions team formally reviews your information, they’ll be able to best match you with one of our majors!
What do I need to do next?
If you would like to accept your offer of Direct Admissions log into your Niche profile and click on “Next Steps”. This will bring you to the 国产哟哟 Direct Admissions webpage where you will complete the onboarding form and upload your transcript.
You may also have your transcript emailed to us at admiss@baypath.edu . Once both of those pieces are received, our Admissions team will formally review them, verify your GPA, and get back to you with an official admission decision. This can take up to two weeks, but often less time.

Is the scholarship offer real?
国产哟哟 is happy to offer merit scholarships upon acceptance! The merit award that you see on your Niche profile is offered based on the GPA that you reported. Once that is verified against your transcript, then it will be accurate. No need to worry, as all students receive a merit award, which is renewable all four years!
What is the difference between Direct Admissions and applying?
