Honestly, the school is not that hard to get into. If you did decently in high school (3.0 or higher) you can get in assuming that you have other talents and extracurriculars. AP courses do not seem to matter as much nor do SAT scores matter that much. Good grades and a somewhat challenging curriculum are all you really need to get in here. The admissions standards don't seem to be that high.

Well, I would seriously recommend looking elsewhere, but if you are intent on coming here, I'd recommend doing an overnight or day visit to the college and community. See if this school is right for you before committing. I didn't and I transferred out.

Also, getting in here is not that hard. A 3.0 GPA (Male) is desired or (3.5) if you are a female, assuming that you have some extracurriculars and community service. Don't worry about AP courses, they don't matter as much nor does the SAT as they accept a wide variety of scores.

Most importantly, though, make sure you like the school before committing. It may or may not be right for based on your academic pursuits or your social interests.

lots of extracurricular activities to get in if your a freshman. they look at GPA more than SAT's. have good reccomendations and send a resume even though they don't ask for it - it'll make you look better. Transfer students have a much easier time getting in then freshman (that applys to all colleges though) and as long as you have a strong record from your college grades you'll be fine, they dont look at high school stuff as much if your a transfer. good luck getting in!

If you have SAT scores above 1200 (old SAT), GPA above 3.3, and a fair amount of interesting activities on your resume, you're pretty much guaranteed entrance. Supposedly, it also helps if you're male.

I would suggest most students to apply into University of Virginia and College of William and Mary before considering this University. For the level of coursework given here the lack of recognition nationally as a competitive school leaves something to be desired.

Just be involved in lots of extra curriculars and do well in your classes. Get mostly As, some Bs. Be a leader and get an average SAT score.

I did really well at community college with a 3.8 GPA. I made it onto an honor society there, so that helped tremendously getting into this place.
