* High school coursework: The rigor of your classes (AP, IB, honors) is important.
* SAT/ACT scores: While test-optional, scores can strengthen an application.
* Extracurricular activities: Involvement in clubs, sports, and volunteer work demonstrates well-roundedness.
* Essays and letters of recommendation: These provide insights into your personality and potential.
* Overall application strength: A strong application as a whole is more important than a single number.
While there's no stated minimum GPA, applicants with significantly lower GPAs will likely face an uphill battle. It's best to contact Adrian College's admissions office directly to discuss your specific academic profile and chances of acceptance.
