State Schools Adopt Direct Admission for Seniors

State Schools Adopt Direct Admission for Seniors
September 30, 2024

UNH, Plymouth State and Keene State are making it possible for certain high-school seniors to be automatically accepted even without applying, part of a national trend known as direct admission.

UNH and PSU announced Monday that they would use a private company called Niche to run a pilot direct admission program for seniors who are graduating next spring.

Niche lists more than 110 colleges and universities across the country that use its program, including three in Massachusetts and two in Maine.
