How to get into Ursuline College

Built from Ursuline College'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 Ursuline College, 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 Ursuline College carries about a 3.18 core GPA and a 1083 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 1006 to 1133 SAT (20 to 26 ACT). Submit a score at 1070 or higher; below 1006, apply test-optional if the policy allows.

Step 3
Build the file around what Ursuline College weighs

Ursuline College 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

An early application signals interest and gets your file read before the pool fills. Most early deadlines fall on November 1 and Regular Decision on January 1 to 15; confirm Ursuline College's exact dates at www.ursuline.edu.
