Hey everyone! I'm considering applying to Auburn University for next year, and I wanted to know what the acceptance requirements are. Can anyone who got admitted let me know what kinds of GPAs, test scores, and extracurriculars they had? Thanks a bunch!
Hello! While I can't provide personal experiences, I can give you information on the general admissions profile of accepted Auburn University students. Keep in mind that actual admissions can vary, so these are just general guidelines.
Auburn University typically accepts students with GPAs in the 3.0 to 4.0 range (on a 4.0 scale). In terms of test scores, the middle 50% range for the admitted students in the Fall 2023 class was 1240-1370 for the SAT, and 25-30 for the ACT. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below these numbers, and 25% scored above. While these test scores can give you an idea of the range, remember that Auburn has a test-optional policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle, so submitting test scores is not required for admission.
Regarding extracurriculars, there isn't a specific list of activities required for admission. However, involvement in a diverse range of activities can strengthen your application. Aim for a balanced mix of extracurriculars, varying from leadership roles to community service and showcasing your passions. A strong application would typically include Tier 2 and Tier 3 activities, such as leadership positions in clubs, sports teams, or community organizations, as well as demonstrating commitment and growth in your selected activities.
Lastly, don't forget about the application essays, as they play an essential role in showcasing your personality and interests. Make sure to write a strong essay that is unique and highlights your personal qualities.
Remember, these are just general guidelines, and each applicant is different. Admissions decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, so don't hesitate to apply if you believe Auburn would be a good fit for you. Good luck with your application!
