Students who succeed at AUP are those looking to get involved on campus while living in an urban community. They are also seeking professional development through real-world experiences.听

How to Support Students Through the Application Process

We take a holistic approach to application review, which means we give equal weight to all application elements, and therefore do not disqualify an applicant based on not meeting a minimum GPA requirement or obtaining a minimum score on a standardized test. However, competitive applicants tend to have unweighted GPAs of 3.3 or higher, and if they decide to submit them, standardized test scores in the 80% or higher. If one portion of an applicant鈥檚 file is weaker, then we like to see that all other elements are very strong.
