Freshman Admission Criteria

*Students in the strong candidate catagory are only assured admission provided they meet the Regents’ Minimum Academic Preparation Standards (MAPS). These standards include 4 years of English (2 of which must be in composition), 3 years of college preparatory mathematics, 3 years of natural science (2 of which must be laboratory science), 2 years of the same foreign language, and at least one year of additional academic elective credit. Applicants who meet these high school requirements and the admission criteria in the chart will be admitted provided all other factors are consistent and enrollment limitations have not been reached. For the Fall 2002 semester, the mid 50% of all new freshmen presented a high school class rank between the 50th and 85th percentile, a high school GPA from 2.9-3.7, ACT composite scores from 20-26, SAT combined scores from 950-1180. **Students not meeting criteria for assured admission will be considered for admission based on a combination of class rank, test scores, and high school units. An Engineering Prep Program is available for students having deficiencies in their math & science backgrounds. ***Acceptance to Nursing is highly competitive. Preference is given to those who meet these criteria; however, not all qualified applicants can be accepted.
