How to get into Auburn Montgomery

Built from Auburn Montgomery's admitted class and what it reports weighing. The typical-admit GPA and SAT are CollegeCalcAI's modeled figures, not published cutoffs.

There is no formula that guarantees a spot at Auburn Montgomery, but the applicants who get in tend to do the same four things. Here is what the numbers say each one looks like.

Step 1
Match the typical admit on the transcript

CollegeCalcAI's modeled typical admit at Auburn Montgomery carries about a 2.99 core GPA and a 1153 SAT, in the most rigorous schedule available. Meeting it puts you in the admitted range for most applicants.

Step 2
Decide on scores with the real range

The admitted middle 50% is 1036 to 1203 SAT (18 to 24 ACT). Submit a score at 1120 or higher; below 1036, apply test-optional if the policy allows.

Step 3
Build the file around what Auburn Montgomery weighs

Auburn Montgomery rates rigor of secondary school record, academic GPA, and standardized test scores highest in its own Common Data Set. Put your depth there: and a transcript whose rigor rises through junior year.

Step 4
Apply in the round that helps

Most public universities read early applicants first without a binding commitment. Apply by Auburn Montgomery's early or priority deadline (confirm dates at www.aum.edu), and if you are out of state, know that residency changes both the bar and the price.
