Admission Guidelines

All applications receive a comprehensive review. 

New freshmen will be considered for admission if they rank in the top 50% of their class or have a minimum ACT composite score of 22 (SAT equivalent).

All applications receive a comprehensive review. Academic preparation is the primary criterion used in the review process. Consideration will also be given to factors such as stronger academic performance later in high school, demonstrated leadership skills in school or community, personal statements, and recommendations.

ACT/SAT scores from the high school are accepted for admission. An official ACT/SAT score report, received directly from the testing agency, is required prior to the advising/registration program.
