Estimating First-year Student Eligibility for Baccalaureate Majors

The ranges in the chart represent the middle 50 percent of students offered admission for fall 2007--they are not cutoffs or averages. Placing in the upper end of both ranges increases the likelihood of being offered your first choice of campus/major. Placing in the lower end of both ranges may require you to be more flexible in making your campus (and perhaps major) choices.

Admission decisions are based on a variety of factors. The most important factor, the high school grade-point average (GPA), accounts for approximately two-thirds of the admission decision. The remaining one-third of the decision is based on other factors, which may include standardized test scores, class rank, personal statements, and activities lists.
