Hey there! So, Auburn's one of my top choices but I'm not sure if I meet all the criteria. Does anyone have a complete list of their general admission requirements that they could share?
Hello! Auburn University has clear guidance on what they require from prospective students. Here's an overview:
1. Completed Application: First, you need to complete and submit an admissions application form, available on Auburn's website.
2. Application Fee: There's a non-refundable $50 application fee for domestic students, and a $60 fee for international students.
3. Official Transcripts: You must have an official high school transcript sent directly to Auburn from your school. An updated transcript post graduation will also be required to confirm your senior year's course schedule and graduation date.
4. Standardized Test Scores: As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Auburn University still does require SAT or ACT test scores for all first-year domestic students. You can either self-report these scores when you submit your application or have them sent directly to Auburn from the testing agency.
5. High School Course Requirements: Auburn expects students to have completed a certain curriculum in high school. This includes four years of English, four years of Social Studies (including World History), three years of Math (four recommended), three years of Science (including two with lab), and foreign language (two years recommended).
6. Extracurricular Activities &: Personal Essays : Although they aren’t mandatory, information about your extracurricular activities and personal essays are encouraged by Auburn. They showcase your skills, talents and character, which can enhance your application.
Remember that meeting the minimum requirements doesn't guarantee admission, as Auburn reviews each application holistically. Competitive candidates will exceed these minimums and show potential for academic success and significant contributions to campus life at Auburn. I hope this helps and good luck with your application!
