First-year Application: Dual Credit
As a part of the application process, TCU requires two letters of recommendation from first-year applicants (recommendation letters are optional for transfer applicants). One must come from a teacher, while the other is sent in by a school counselor. These letters are a great way for our admission team to better get to know who you are as a person beyond the numbers we see on the application.
