How Westminster reads a record
and GPA are both important; class rank and tests are both considered. 63% of first-years had a 3.75 or higher, so and rarely sets an applicant apart; the courses behind it carry more of the weight. Scores are optional. 9% of first-years sent an SAT and 36% an ACT. Most first-years were admitted without scores. Of the 58% whose high school reported a rank, 25% were in the top tenth.
