Admission of Students with Outstanding Scores
Although successful
completion of designated high school course work is necessary for student
success in college, those few students who score at the upper five percent of
all students nationally on the SAT I have demonstrated potential for success in
college and may be considered for admission.
Students who demonstrate very
high academic ability by achieving SAT I-Composite (Verbal + Math) score in the
upper five percent (for 1997-98, the 95th percentile was 1360 SAT/31 ACT) of
national college-bound seniors according to the most recent report from the
College Board and who show other evidence of college readiness may be admitted
under this section. (An ACT score which is equivalent to this SAT I score may
also be used.) Institutions must carefully evaluate such students to determine
their ability to benefit from college course work. Students must satisfy any
CPC deficiencies in areas other than English or mathematics.
