Freshman Application Checklist

We look at several pieces of information to make an admission decision. Be sure to use this application checklist to ensure your application is complete.

• Completed 2009-10 Application for Freshman Admission, Honors and Scholarships
  
  
• Official high school transcript(s)
  
  
• ACT or SAT scores, including writing test results (sent directly from the testing agency).
  If you specify the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (ACT code 2156 and SAT code 6874), your scores will be sent to us automatically.
  
  
• Transcript Request & Counselor Form, completed by your high school counselor.
  
  
• $45 non-refundable application fee (Application fee waivers are available for eligible students. Learn more.)

Also,

If you take courses at a college while in high school, even if no credit is earned, submit official transcripts (with an official signature or seal, or printed on security paper) from all colleges or universities attended. Each transcript must have been issued within the last year. We cannot accept faxed or photocopied transcripts.

If you did not graduate from high school but earned a GED (or other high school equivalency), submit official test scores.

If you attended or graduated from a secondary school in another country, submit official transcripts along with official English translations and any test results required to enter a university in that country.

If English is not your native language and if your ACT English and/or reading scores are 17 or lower (or SAT critical reading/verbal score is 420 or lower), you may be asked to submit scores from the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) or Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Contact the Office of Admissions for details.

If any additional information is required, we will request it as needed.
