Yes. Regardless of your high school grade point average, your official SAT Reasoning/ACT test scores are required.

Once a student is admitted to the University, they are admitted to the College of Engineering. The University admission requirements are listed below:

No. There are no cutoffs and we do not admit "by the numbers." The mid 50% for students admitted to the class of 2010 are as follows: SAT (critical reading/math) 1480-1560 and ACT (english/math) 33-35.

We normally tell students they should be in the B+ range to be competitive. The admission process incorporates 1) overall GPA; 2) prerequisite GPA; and 3) GRE score. Each of these areas is weighted equally. Thereby, the applicant could remain in the competitive range if they were low in one area i.e. overall GPA and up in the other two. Historically, applicants with GRE scores below 900 are not competitive.

If you are applying as a freshman student at LTU, you are required to take either the SAT or ACT.  If you have taken at least 30 credits or one year of full-time college course-work you are not required to take the SAT or ACT for admission.

Our Student Records Department has PSAT, SAT and ACT test scores on the transcripts for some students, but only if the student provided us with his/her correct social security number and put the correct social security number on the test at the time the test was taken. Test scores are posted from a data file purchased from the testing company, so we can't be certain that all information is provided. We are under no requirement to maintain these scores, but do so as a convenience to the students.

ACT/SAT scores are used to place students into the appropriate levels of math, English, and reading courses. If ACT or SAT scores place students into courses below college-level, they may try to improve their course placement by taking the COMPASS test.

SAT or ACT scores are required for all applicants who graduated from high school after 1998. This requirement is waived for transfer students who have completed a minimum of 24 credits with a GPA of at least 2.0.

The chapters will take into account a participant's SAT/ACT scores along with her high school/college grades. If a Potential New Member's scores/grades are low, the chapters will have concern for the possibility of the Potential New Member experiencing difficulty in managing the time commitment required for New Member Education and a busy school schedule.

Academic requirements are subject to change based upon the number of applicants, available funding, timing of application for admission, and the requirements which may be imposed by donors of the various scholarships. However, students presenting at least a 90 un-weighted high school average and critical reading and math combined SAT score of 1200 (or ACT scores of 27 or higher) should consider themselves competitive scholarship candidates.

All freshmen applicants are required to take either the College Board's Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the ACT by November 2007. There is no minimum SAT or ACT score required for admission. Freshman applicants are ranked using the CSU eligibility index which combines the grade point average and SAT/ACT test scores. For fall 2007, the average SAT score of admitted freshmen who met the selective criteria was 1,128; the average ACT composite score was 24.

What we are most interested in is the applicant's research potential. These scores are just one of many criteria we consider. There are no minimum scores. We much prefer students who have taken challenging advanced courses to those with top scores on rudimentary courses. There are many ways for applicants to demonstrate their research potential.

Yes. Students must have a minimum overall (cumulative) GPA of 3.0 or higher and a "Required Support Courses" and "Knowledge Area Requirements" GPA of 3.0 or higher (*classes on pre-requisite sheet). These classes also require a grade of "C" or better (a C- grade is not acceptable). No ACT requirement.

Houghton looks at a student's entire academic record, including the high school transcript, standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) and recommendations. Our average SAT for the fall 2004 incoming class was 1173 (25.8 ACT); our middle 50% was 1070-1280 (23-29 on the ACT).

You may have read that the average SAT is 1170 or 26 ACT. If you are above those averages and have strong grades, you are doing well. Students with scores below the average should remember that it’s an average and not a minimum. Remember, we take your test scores in context with your entire application. We accept either test. We recommend that you take two tests (two SATs, two ACTs, or one of each). We’ll take your top score. Whatever you do, try to relax while taking the test.

The Graduate School requires a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.75. The GPA can be derived from the last 60 hours of undergraduate work if necessary. If your GPA is still below 2.75 you may be admitted as a “provisional” student and you will have an opportunity to earn a 3.0 GPA on 12 hours of graduate course work and have the provisional status removed. Please note that programs reserve the right to require a higher GPA for admission, contact the program coordinator for information.

We do not require the SAT / ACT for admission. However, we do recommend that you still take them. If you have taken the test, feel free to forward your scores to the Office of Admissions for review.

In general, we look for at least a B undergraduate average, but the overall record is of primary importance. Individual programs may be interested in how an applicant did in specific courses, whether the undergraduate background course work was adequate for the program, and whether the applicant showed a pattern of improvement during undergraduate study. There is no specific cut-off for the GRE.

On the GRE, the minimum score required by the Graduate School is 850 (combined verbal and quantitative). The minimum undergraduate GPA required by the Graduate School is 2.6. The average GRE score for a Community Counseling graduate student is approximately 1100 and the average GPA is 3.5. With that said, a deficit in one area can be compensated by strength in another area.

You will receive a scaled score of 1-36 on each of the 4 ACT tests (you will receive a raw score of 2-12 on your essay that represents the sum of the 1-6 scores from two graders). Your composite score on the ACT is the average of your 4 scores rounded to the nearest integer, so it is also a 1-36 score. Because the SAT and the ACT are completely different tests developed by different companies, their scores cannot be compared directly.
