UNT - Automatic Admission?

Hey guys, I heard that the University of North Texas has an automatic admission policy? Does anybody know how this works and what the criteria are? Any information would be appreciated!

Hello! Yes, the University of North Texas (UNT) does have an automatic admission policy for certain students who meet specific criteria. Here's a brief overview of how it works:

1. Top 10% Rule: If you are a Texas resident and graduate in the top 10% of your high school class, you are automatically eligible for admission to UNT. This rule applies to students attending accredited Texas public high schools.

2. Assured Admission: UNT also has an "assured admission" policy based on a combination of your high school class rank and SAT/ACT scores. The criteria are as follows (for students who enter UNT in Fall 2023 or later):

- Top 15% with no minimum SAT/ACT score required

- Top 16-25% with a minimum SAT score of 950 or ACT composite score of 18

- Top 26-45% with a minimum SAT score of 1000 or ACT composite score of 20

- Top 46-55% with a minimum SAT score of 1050 or ACT composite score of 21

- Top 56%-65% with a minimum SAT score of 1100 or ACT composite score of 23

Keep in mind that these criteria apply to Texas residents graduating from accredited public or private high schools. Homeschooled and out-of-state students should refer to the UNT admissions website for specific requirements that apply to them.

If you don't meet the automatic admission criteria, don't worry! UNT still reviews applicants on a holistic basis, considering factors such as extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations. However, meeting the assured admission criteria can provide peace of mind and streamline the process. Good luck!
