  Your percentage (i.e. top 25%) divide your class rank by the total number of students in your class. ex.  61/364 = 16.7 % = top 20%  Note:  class rank is listed on your credit profile and on your transcript

• Be Aware of application priority dates and deadlines!

• Minimum core requirements:

  • English - 4 credits

  • Mathematics - 3 credits (including Algebra and Geometry)

  • Social Science - 3 credits

  • Natural Science - 3 credits
