<p>Uhh, I think that is everything! And I was also wondering when I should expect a decision since Uconn works on a rolling admission basis. Thanks!</p>
<p>Sunmann, I was told that they use 3 criteria: GPA =3.5 or higher; SAT combined score for CR and Math = 1200 or higher; and Class Rank = Top 25%. Honestly, I question whether they even look at Extracurriculars, etc. Seems with the record number of applicants and the fact that they are SO far behind, raw scores are what will get you admitted. I know they are still plowing through Early Action applications, and hope to be done by mid-Feb before they even get to anyone who applied after Dec. 1st. Could be a long wait. Crazy. By the way, it is a new Admissions Director who is doing things differently than ever before.</p>
<p>So are you saying that I need one of the three? or all three to get admitted? And I guess it will be a while before that decision comes in then, thanks for replying though!</p>
<p>Hi Sunmann,
I was told they look at all 3 components and that if you have all 3, then there is a better chance of getting admitted. My daughter was just rejected. She had 2 out of the 3; 3.72 GPA, top 25%, but 1160 on her SAT’s (40 pts. short of the required 1200). She is a 3 sport athlete, Student Council president, lots of APs and extracurriculars. Still cannot believe it. Can’t figure out what kind of kid they want, if not her. I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>Hi Sunmann, She applied Early Action on October 27th. I neglected to say that she applied to the School of Nursing, which is very competitive. Still, the 3 gaiting items I mentioned hold true for general admissions (3.5, 1200 SAT, top 25% of class). Your credentials seem great, and if applying for ACES (general), I think you have an excellent shot. Good luck!</p>
<p>I think you have a 90% chance to get in. If you applied earlier then you would have a 100% chance to get in. I had a 3.36 GPA and 1940 SAT with all the regular EC’s you see from high school students. Nothing really stood out for me. Applied in October, got a letter in Feb. Last year UConn got a record high number of applicants and they even waitlisted one of my friends who had better grades than me! But, she applied later so that’s why…</p>
<p>Yea, so I have a feeling that this year UConn is going to be more rigid in their selection.</p>
