Students who got into WMU:

Tips mention: Interview (5), ACT/SAT (20), Grades (23), Sports/Extracurriculars (4), College Essay (2)
Fill out the applicationApr 01 2008Psychology
Fill out the application. If you're in the top of your class and qualify to get into the Honors College, fill out that application. It's worth it. You get priority registration for the rest of the time you're in college and it makes a HUGE difference! If you have really good grades and qualify for the Medallion scholarship, interview. You get money just for interviewing AND you get to fill out a goldenrod app, which is only one page and super easy.
ACT: 30 SAT: 1270 Female
I had a lowMar 24 2008Finance
I had a low GPA (2.8) and an ACT score of 20. I did however have an upward trend in grades. If you are in a situation like I was in, APPLY VERY EARLY!! they will accept you because they want to fill in the slots and they want money!!

Absolutely nothingOct 06 2005Biology
Absolutely nothing. Be average. 25 ACT will get you in with no seriuos misdemeanors. 3.0 GPA maybe. Very average. I got in two weeks before school began. No bigee. If you apply for a major that is a little less profile that is helpful.
