Topic #1 (2-3 pages): At All Souls College in Oxford, it is traditional to present students with only one word instead of a full essay prompt. Choose from one of the following:

• Wild
• Wisdom
• Wonder

Topic #2 (2-3 pages): “A rational person, even if he does not believe in God, should live his life as though God does exist, and try to believe in Him. For the reward that God promises to those who seek Him is an infinite good, while any earthly goods that one might lose by seeking Him can only be finite goods.” Is Pascal’s Wager a compelling reason to believe in God, and to live in accordance with Him?

Topic #3 (1,000 words): Describe any painting you would like using exactly one thousand words. Please attach a copy of the chosen painting.

Topic #4 (2-3 pages): Some mathematical theories and systems were conceived as pure theory before mathematicians realized they had real-world applications (eg, non-Euclidean geometry). Does this mean that mathematics is invented? That is, is math real? If so, where does it exist?

Wyoming Catholic College requires that all students submit standardized test scores as part of their application. The College prefers the Classic Learning Test (CLT), as this exam is the most accurate assessment of a student’s aptitude for WCC’s classical curriculum. For more information, visit www.cltexam.com

The SAT and ACT are also accepted. Standardized test score reports must be sent from the testing companies directly to the Admissions Office. Please visit www.collegeboard.com or www.act.org to request scores. Our code numbers are 4748 for the SAT and 5001 for the ACT.

Although there isn’t a minimum score requirement for the CLT, SAT, or ACT, these scores are an important part of the admissions evaluation.

Wyoming Catholic requires students to embark on breathtaking yet challenging trips in the outdoors, therefore it is necessary for the outdoor program to know of any medical history and/or conditions that may involve extra preparation. Please fill out the form here.

When the application has been completed, the Admissions Office will contact the applicant to set up a remote interview with one of our faculty members.
