Do I need to achieve a certain GPA or admission test score for colleges to consider me?
-
The Admissions Office:At Carleton, no. We want to get the whole picture before we make a decision about a prospective student, so we do not accept or reject anyone based solely on grade-point average (GPA) or scores on tests like the SAT I and ACT. We do require that you take one of those tests as part of the application process, though.
Please note: Some colleges do set a minimum threshhold for GPA or test scores, so it's important to get specific information on admission requirements from each college you are considering.
