Hi. I'm seriously considering AIC for their health sciences programs. I've been searching around, but I can't seem to find a definite answer about their acceptance rate. Can you guys help me out? What kind of student do they usually accept?
American International College (AIC) in Springfield, Massachusetts has a moderate level acceptance rate while maintaining a somewhat competitive admissions process.
However, acceptance doesn't solely rely on statistics. AIC, like many institutions, looks at the entire student application. This includes your GPA, test scores (if you choose to submit them), your high school curriculum rigor, and your extracurricular activities. While they don't publicize an average GPA for admitted students, with the acceptance rate in mind, you should aim to have a solid academic record.
AIC values students who demonstrate a genuine interest in their chosen field of study and who show commitment through extracurricular activities, community service, or work experience. If you're interested in the health sciences programs, it could be beneficial to have some background in the field – through courses, club involvement, volunteering, or relevant work experiences.
Although personal statements are optional, this is your opportunity to tell your story. To show AIC not just what you've accomplished so far, but what you aspire to do in the future, and how AIC can be part of that journey.
Remember, these are just guidelines. Every student’s application is unique. You should definitely still apply even if you don't meet all these criteria exactly, especially if you have other strengths you can highlight in your application.
