“This past year has presented unprecedented challenges to students and families. We want to help ease some of that stress by offering Newark college-bound seniors a convenient admission application review option that takes away the anxiety of waiting to hear about their admission status,” said Marcheta P. Evans, Ph.D., Bloomfield College president. “We are thrilled to join in this partnership with the Newark Public Schools guidance departments.”

During the Bloomfield College Instant Decision Day appointment, students will meet virtually with an Admission Counselor who will review their application and high school transcript and process a decision. Students are encouraged to complete an online admission application prior the appointment, however, a paper application may be completed with the student on the day of the appointment.
