Apply Online!  This link will take you to our online application site where you can complete and submit your application.  The first step is to create your login. Once you complete your application, you must immediately begin to submit all your other required documents.  To return to an application you have begun, click on the Apply Online link as well.  You will be able to check your status online about six weeks after you have submitted your application. Do not hit submit more than once! If you do, you will not be able to pay the fee, and your application will not be transmitted to Pratt.  If you find that this is a problem, contact Chris Paisley at cpaisley@pratt.edu or call 718 636-3593.  Note: This application site does not accept international debit cards.  It does accept international credit cards. Once you click "submit", do not try to go back using the browser or hit any other buttons. Just wait for the submissions to go through.

The Admissions Committee bases its decisions on a careful review of all credentials submitted by the applicant. Admissions files are not considered complete and will not be reviewed until all required materials have been received.  Please read carefully all the admissions requirements for your admissions level (freshman, transfer, international, associate).

Fee Waivers:  Undergraduate students may request a college application fee waiver on the basis of family financial hardship using either the NACAC form or the SAT Fee Waiver form.  Please follow the instructions on the College Board or the NACAC website to obtain either form and bring it to your guidance counselor. The criteria are listed on both sites. 

You may submit your application online once you have your completed and signed fee waiver in hand.  Submit your online application by clicking on the “Submit and Pay” button at the bottom of the online application.  You will be taken through a data verification process to make sure all of the required questions are answered and are in the correct format.  You will then be taken to a credit card payment page once you have verified your data.  At this point you will need to email a scanned copy of the waiver form to Chris Paisley at cpaisley@pratt.edu or fax to 718 636-3670 with a cover sheet saying Attention: Chris Paisley instead of paying the fee by credit card. He will then accept your application.  The data you provide may be checked against the FAFSA.

International and graduate students are not eligible for  fee waivers.
