Facts

Tips for Getting In
  • Be yourself on the Common App—one of the supplements even asks for something funny about you. The admissions officers want you to be honest.
  • Evidence of leadership, service, and talents are considered with your application, so highlight those, especially if you're lacking elsewhere.
  • GPA matters more than rigor of courses.
  • SAT between 570 and 650 (each section), ACT between 26 and 30
  • You need at least one letter of recommendation, so make friends with your teachers.
