2002-2003 - The University of Scranton

ADMISSION
The Admissions Committee of The University of Scranton will make the final decision
on applications for admission. In reaching this decision, the committee will consider a number
of factors: demonstrated evidence of a student’s academic ability, intellectual curiosity,
strength of character and motivation; the student’s high school record, class rank, and
extracurricular activities; SAT and/or ACT scores.
