Yo, anyone with intel on UNT (University of North Texas) admission requirements? I'm jotting down uni options, and any first-hand insights would be cool. Thanks!
Hey! Glad to see you're considering UNT. It's a solid choice. I can give you some basic details about their admission requirements. First of all, they focus a lot on a student's high school curriculum. They want to see at least four years of English, three years of Math, three years of Science, three years of Social Studies, and two years of a foreign language from your high school coursework.
As far as GPA is concerned, if you're in the top 20% of your graduating high school class, admission is practically guaranteed. The precise required GPA can vary depending on your high school ranking and SAT/ACT scores. But to give you a ballpark, the average GPA of admitted students tends to be around 3.47.
Test scores also play a role. The UNT middle 50% SAT range is approximately between 1000 and 1220; the ACT range is between 19 and 27 points for most recently admitted first-year students. Remember UNT is not test-optional. So, SAT or ACT scores will be required as of the 2024-2025 application cycle.
Also, UNT does consider your application essay, so make sure that showcases what you will bring to their campus. Write about your experiences, achievements, and ambitions. However, keep in mind: the default application only requires one essay and it doesn't specify any particular topic—this means it's up to you to select an experience or quality about yourself that's distinct and compelling.
In addition, they examine your extracurricular activities to ensure you can contribute to the college community outside the classroom. Show plenty of involvement and leadership in these areas.
Remember that while these are the overall trends, there might be variations and every application is reviewed individually with a holistic approach. It's always best to directly reach out to the admissions office at UNT or visit their official website to get the most accurate, up-to-date information.
Good luck with your college process!
