One of the schools that I am applying to has some requirements to be considered for admission. The website says, “Students are considered for freshman admission…” and lists some requirements. I meet most of these requirements except for one. Does this mean that I need to meet all requirement for my application to be reviewed at all? Will the school ignore my application because of that one requirement that I do not meet? I included an optional essay, completed a supplement and included recommendations to that school. Now I’m worried that I won’t be looked at because of one thing. Thanks in advance.
What is the one thing?
If that ‘one thing’ is graduating from high school, it’s a big thing. If that ‘one thing’ is 2 years of a foreign language or an art class, they may excuse it but make you take it in college.
An item a college may “consider” is legacy status. You might not have it – that doesn’t mean you’re automatically disqualified – that’d be not logical
The “one thing” I mentioned is my chemistry grade which is 5 points lower than the required grade for the programs I’m applying to.
IME, the chemistry grade would disqualify you. Is it your current grade? Is there any chance to get it up before midterm reports go in?
I agree. If it states a list for “consideration”, that would seem to be the minimum.
I had chemistry two years ago so I can’t really do anything about it. However, there is a notice that says, “chemistry requirements may each be substituted by a year-long college-level non–calculus-based course.” The only course I have that might fit is Cisco but I’m not sure if it qualifies as a college course. My guidance counselor said it doesn’t but my teacher says it does since I earn college credits for it and passed the certification.
