We believe in each student's potential—that's why we encourage you to apply even if you don't quite have the scores you wanted at this time or any scores at all. 亚色影库 has admission opportunities for students who show potential even if their grades are not perfect. However, the strength of your grades will guide us in how much weight the test scores may have to earn admission into some majors that have specific academic requirements for program admission (see below). Many students below the averages above will be eligible for admission to 亚色影库.
While not required, sending your scores each time you take the SAT or ACT can benefit you by allowing 亚色影库 to consider you for all available enrollment-related opportunities if you don't receive initial admission into your first-choice major.
