Admission Requirements:
Because TCU is a selective university, we are able to consider all credentials, both academic and extracurricular, as well as teacher and counselor evaluations, when reviewing an application for admission. We do not set minimum GPA or test score requirements for admission.

The following factors are considered when selecting candidates for admission:

1. High School Record. Students are expected to have completed upon graduation a minimum of:
   • 4 units of English
   • 3 units of mathematics (including 2 units of algebra and 1 of geometry)
   • 3 units of science (including one laboratory science)
   • 3 units of social studies
   • 2 units of foreign language and 2 units of academic electives
   The quality and quantity of coursework taken, grades earned, and subsequent rank in the high school class are important in assessing a candidate's probability for success at TCU.
2. Admission Tests. Candidates must present results of the SAT or the ACT. Arrangements to take one of these tests should be made through the student's secondary school. If the candidate has been out of high school more than three years, the SAT/ACT requirement is waived. In addition, prospective performance music majors must audition either in person or by recording. Prospective ballet and modern dance majors, as well as BFA Theatre majors, must also audition.
3. Essay and Counselor's Evaluation. The student's essay is a significant part of the application as is the high school counselor's evaluation. If the candidate has been out of high school more than three years, the counselor's evaluation requirement is waived.
4. Extracurricular Participation. Activities outside of class, including employment, community/volunteer work, and leadership experiences are evaluated.
5. College Courses taken while in high school. The quality of coursework completed and the grades earned will be considered during the admission process. Official college transcripts must be presented to determine transferability of credit.
