| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
|
Admission to UConn is competitive. When reviewing your application for admission, the University will give the heaviest weight to your high school records, class rank, academic grade point average and SAT or ACT scores. Students should be in the upper range of their high school class and have competitive SAT or ACT scores.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will also consider your required essay, optional letters of recommendation and evidence of your interest in extracurricular activities such as community service, the arts, cultural activities, athletics, politics and leadership positions.
Applicants should be attending an approved high school program. Upon graduation you must have completed at least 16 units, with 15 in college preparatory work. Students should complete, as a minimum, the following college preparatory courses while in high school:
4 years of English
3 years of math (algebra I, algebra II and geometry)
2 years of social studies (including one year of U.S. History)
2 years of a single foreign language (3 years strongly recommended)
2 years of laboratory science
3 years of electives
Your official school record must be sent by your high school directly to UConn’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions. SAT or ACT scores must be sent directly from the appropriate testing service or be posted on your official high school transcript. Students who graduate from high school in 2006 and subsequent years must submit the new SAT or ACT with writing exam. We encourage students to take the SAT and/or ACT more than once. We will accept the highest scores from your combined test dates.
Note: If you have ever enrolled full-time at a post-secondary institution after graduating from high school, you are a transfer student and must apply as a transfer student. |
