I'm starting my college applications and I want to make sure I'm prepared. What are the admission requirements for the University of Louisville? I'd appreciate any help or advice!
The University of Louisville has a few basic requirements for undergraduate admission. Here's an overview of what you'll need to consider when applying:
1. High School Curriculum: UofL requires applicants to have completed and earned a diploma from a high school program. Applicants should have followed a preparatory curriculum that includes: 4 years of English, 3 years of math (including Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II), 3 years of science (at least 2 of which should be lab-based), 3 years of social studies, and 2 years of a single foreign language.
2. Minimum GPA: University of Louisville generally looks for a minimum high school GPA of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale for in-state students and a minimum GPA of 3.00 for out-of-state students.
3. Test Scores: For the 2024-2025 application cycle, UofL is test-optional, which means you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores. If you decide to submit your scores, the university does not have a strict minimum, but you can check the middle 50% range for admitted students to gauge where your scores might fall: SAT: 1080-1280, and ACT: 22-28.
4. Application: You'll need to complete the UofL Undergraduate Application, where you'll provide your basic personal information and academic history.
5. Application Fee: There is a $25 non-refundable application fee for domestic applicants; however, fee waivers may be available for eligible students.
6. High School Transcripts: You will need to submit your official high school transcript as part of your application.
7. Personal Essay: Although UofL does not require a personal essay, you will have an opportunity to submit an optional one. If your application does not meet the minimum requirements, the university may request an essay from you.
8. Letters of Recommendation: UofL does not require letters of recommendation; however, you have the option to submit up to three letters, which might help to bolster your application.
Remember that admission requirements can change over time, so make sure to check the University of Louisville's website for the most up-to-date information. Good luck with your application!
