Michigan State University Research Paper

Admission Requirements:

There are no minimum requirements to apply to Michigan University. Admission is very competitive which is why it is encouraged that you apply early in your senior year. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and a college preparation in high school is recommended. It is recommended that you fill out your application online, but paper forms are also available. Decisions are usually made eight to 12 weeks after all the application stuff is turned in.

Freshmen admission is based on: your academic performance in high school, the strength and quality of your curriculum, recent trends in your academic performance, your class rank, your ACT and SAT scores, your leadership, talents, conduct, and diversity of experience, and an application and application fee.

Required ACT/ SAT Scores:

The minimum required composite ACT score is 22-27. The minimum required composite SAT score for Critical Reading and Math is 1040-1270. Both of these are the middle 50% of admitted freshmen.

Required GPA Weighted and Unweighted

There isn't a required GPA to get in, but the usual acceptance range is 3.4-3.8.

High School Courses Required for Admission

You should enroll in these classes at a minimum for college prep which include: four years of English (composition and literature), three years of math (two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and one higher-level math course), three years of social studies (history, anthropology, economics, geography, government, political science, psychology, or sociology), two years of science (biology, chemistry, physics, or earth science), and two years of a single foreign language. If you are not taking one of these classes, it does not mean your application will not be considered. However a less challenging curriculum could put you at a disadvantage of the other students.

Honors, Advanced placement, and International Baccalaureate are encouraged to take when you can handle them. It is recommended that you put a majority of core acedemic classes in each marking period, even in your senior year.
