Score marginally well on your SAT, if your grades in Highschool are good enough you will get in easy. If you have warm blood and ability to sign the documents for financial aid you will probably get in.

I needed a lot of connections and hard workApr 09 2009Chemical Engineering
I needed a lot of connections and hard work to get into FMU. The competition is cutthroat. Most kids from my country who applied to FMU had straight A's and scored in the top 1% on their standardized tests. When my friends were out playing or partying, I was studying, using my poster of FMU as motivation. My parents and friends said I could never make it, but through Rocky Balboa-like determination I fought the odds and made it into one of the toughest universities in the world. My advice: Work hard and don't take anything for granted.
ACT: 35 SAT: 2300 Male
There was only a two page application for fmuJan 24 2008Art & Design Department
There was only a two page application for fmu in which basic questions were asked nothing about extra activities,or anything personal. All that was really important was your high school GPA and ACT/SAT scores. GPA required is a 2.5 and ACT scores never listed a minimum score it just had to prove that you took it. Incredibly easy to get into.
