Undergraduate Admission Guidelines for New Freshmen

Undergraduate Admissions considers all of the following criteria in granting admission: class rank, strength of curriculum, grade point average, ACT and/or SAT scores. To be considered for admission, we recommend that you complete the ACT or SAT by December of your senior year. Students are expected to have completed a strong college preparatory program. Particular attention is paid to performance in the junior year of high school, with consideration made for grade improvements or declines.

Some academic programs are more selective even than the university's general admission guidelines. Below are guidelines used to evaluate freshman admission applications for those more selective programs.

Note: Applicants to the School of Dance or the School of Music must audition.
