It is very easy to get inApr 04 2011Accounting
It is very easy to get in. 2.0 high school gpa and ACT over 18. You can even get in with a GED score of 510 or high if something prevented you from graduating from high school
ACT: 25 Male
If you have aJan 09 2010Education
If you have a GPA above 2.6 in High school you'll get in. A buddy of mine did that. Ridiculous.
ACT: 23 Male
I didn't have the best ACT scores but IDec 02 2008Finance
I didn't have the best ACT scores but I had a great high school GPA. But every single application that comes into the University is different for a reason and the admission decisions follow this idea. Of course every University wants straight A, several volunteering hours and an ACT score of 32 or whatever the max is. That's not reality and the University is in this community to educate even those students with less than average grades.

Anybody will get inApr 12 2008Education
Anybody will get in. WMU is hurting so bad for incoming freshman I know someone who got in with a 20 on their ACT and a 2.25 GPA.
ACT: 26 Male
Try not to stress too much about your ACT/SATApr 07 2008Business - Management and Administration
Try not to stress too much about your ACT/SAT score, If you have slightly above average GPA in High School and a poor test scores you certainly will still be considered (possibly put on a wait list-which means you will probably get in)
ACT: 18 Male
