Understanding Metropolitan State University of Denver's Admissions

Hi there, folks! I'm considering applying to Metropolitan State University of Denver, but I'm not familiar with their admissions process. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge they could share? I'm kinda stressing about it.

Absolutely, I'd be happy to share some insights about the admissions process at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

First off, it's a rolling admissions school, meaning applications are reviewed as they come in until all spots are filled; however, it's still recommended to apply sooner than later, to maximize your consideration for things like scholarships and housing, and since there are simply more spots still available in the class earlier in the cycle.

For the application itself, you need to submit your high school transcript demonstrating your academic achievement. On the topic of standardized tests, as of now, the Metropolitan State University of Denver practices a test-optional policy, which means you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores as part of your application.

But keep in mind, test-optional doesn't mean test-blind; if you feel your test scores bolster your academic profile and you've already taken these tests, it can be beneficial to submit them. However, if you feel your scores don't reflect your true potential or academic ability, the admissions office is more than open to focusing on other aspects of your application.

Apart from your transcript, the school doesn't require additional essays or personal statements, but do check for any updates from the admissions office regarding this policy, as requirements sometimes can change, or specific programs may ask for materials that aren't necessary for the main admissions process.

Overall, your application will largely ride on your GPA, course rigor, and other factors listed on your transcript. I hope this overview provided some clarity to help ease your stress!
