If you have AP, IB, CLEP, dual-enrollment info at futurestudents.mst.edu

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Your admission will be based on your standardized test score (ACT of SAT) and high school class rank (or GPA if your school does not rank). We also require students to have complete a college preparatory curriculum, including 4 units of English, 4 units of math (Algebra 1 or higher), 3 units of science (at least one must be a laboratory class), 3 units of social science, 2 units of a foreign language (in the same language) and one unit of fine art. If you have any questions about these requirements, contact us. We do NOT require the writing component of the ACT or SAT, and we do not require SAT subject exams. We award credit for Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) based on test scores….a booklet in your folder provides that information. If you are not familiar with AP or IB, don’t worry, not all high schools offer it. We also accept transfer credit as long as it is college level work but PLEASE remember…we are among a very small number of schools who transfer both the credit AND the grade so make good grades on your dual enrollment grades and you will start out with a great GPA at S&T. We also except CLEP subject exams with credit based on exam score.
