Hey there! I've heard about some colleges offering guaranteed admission based on certain requirements (like GPA, test scores, etc.). Can anyone share which colleges have these guaranteed admission policies, and what the specific criteria are? Thanks a ton!
Hi! Yes, several colleges offer guaranteed admission based on certain requirements like GPA and test scores. Here's a list of some colleges with their respective guaranteed admission criteria:
1. University of Texas at Austin - Texas residents in the top 6% of their high school graduating class are automatically admitted.
2. Texas A&M University - Freshmen applicants that rank in the top 10% of their high school graduation class automatically qualify for admission. Texas residents who rank in the top quarter and meet certain SAT or ACT score thresholds may be offered admission as well.
3. Oklahoma State University - Students with an unweighted 3.0 GPA and one of the following qualifications are admitted: top 33.3% of the high school class, ACT score of 24+ (or SAT 1160+) or some combination of GPA and test scores on their assured admission table.
4. Tulane University - Louisiana residents who apply EDI or EDII to Tulane and have a 31+ on the ACT (or 1450+ on the SAT) and a 3.6 or higher GPA are automatically accepted to Tulane.
Keep in mind that you should read each school's specific admissions policy to understand any additional requirements or exceptions to the guaranteed admission criteria. Occasionally, schools might have specific requirements for programs or majors, and guaranteed admission may apply only to general admission but not necessarily to your desired major. Make sure to thoroughly research the college you're interested in to find more details!
