Admissions Announcements

Self-Reported GPA & ACT/SAT Scores

We allow the submission of self-reported data so we can return an admissions decision to you quicker, without delays from waiting on an official transcript. Applicants may self-report their GPA and ACT/SAT composite scores with subscores. If you're admitted, we will require a final high school transcript to confirm your final GPA and date of graduation. If you're not admissible based on your self-reported GPA, you will be placed in supplemental review status and asked to provide more information and an official seventh-semester transcript for our next file review.
