UW-Stout Admissions Viewbook

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

Academic preparation and success are the primary factors considered for admission to the university. No single factor, attribute or characteristic will be used to determine admission. Admission will be based on multiple criteria including academic and personal achievements. Nonacademic criteria can make a good applicant strong, however, they will not make an academically weak applicant admissible. New freshmen are likely to be admitted if they rank in the top 50% of their graduating class or have earned a minimum ACT composite score of 22 (or SAT equivalent). The following is a profile of our most recently admitted freshmen: CLASS RANK: TOP 50% GPA: 3.0-3.5 ACT: 21-24

The Admissions Office will also consider secondary nonacademic criteria which includes: leadership, volunteerism, personal statement, honors and awards, letters of recommendation, socioeconomic background, extracurricular activities, diversity of personal background and work experience.
