What does Admissions look for in a student?
Students with a C+ average or better are encouraged to apply. Emphasis is placed on the grades in the primary college-prep courses (English, math, sciences, etc.) not on the high school GPA which includes chorus, art, typing, etc. The SAT/ACT scores and the letter of recommendation from a guidance counselor or teacher are also important. Additionally, school or community activities as well as work experience are also considered. The average SAT score (Critical Reading and Math) for freshmen who enrolled in September 2008 was 1059, and the average high school GPA was 3.14 (“B”). The averages for Engineering students were significantly higher.
