Basis for Selection

C6.  Do you have an open admission policy, under which virtually all secondary school graduates or students with GED equivalency diplomas are admitted without regard to academic record, test scores, or other qualifications? UM does not have an open policy. Entrance requirements for traditional full-time students are:  high school graduation, 2.5 cumulative grade average or score of 22 on the ACT or 1030 combined verbal/math on the SAT, and successful completion of college prep program requirements.  Nontraditional students, GED freshman, and summer-only students are exempt from the above requirements.

 

 

C7.  Relative importance of each of the following academic and nonacademic factors in your first-time, first-year, degree-seeking (freshman) admission decisions.
