Do Not Meet Automatic Admissions Requirements?
If you do not meet the assured admissions requirements, no problem. You will be evaluated holistically. This individual review of your application is an automatic process whenever the Undergraduate Admission Office determines that an applicant does not meet the assured admissions requirements. You do not have to request this individual review of your application.
The admissions committee knows that you are more than just a number and will consider other factors that may include, but are not limited to:
- Transfer GPA
- Strength of academic background (course selection, rigor, alignment to major/program of study selected, etc.)
- Record of extracurricular activities, leadership experiences, achievements, honors, and awards
- Community Service record
- Employment history and internship experience
- Personal Statement/Essay
- Letter(s) of Recommendation (college advisor, instructor, coach, employer, etc.)
- First-Generation in College status
- Other special circumstances that put the student’s academic achievements into context.
Upon completion of this individual review, the Undergraduate Admissions Office will notify the student of their options for possible admission to UNT Dallas.
These options may include:
- Submit additional information to elaborate on the factors listed above. For example, submit personal statement/essay addressing your education and career goals, letter(s) of recommendation, resume, etc.
- Defer a decision until additional information is available. For example, request you submit a transcript with updated grades from current or latest semester in hope of seeing improvement to your college GPA.
- Suggest student remain at community college or university and attempt to improve GPA in order to meet admission requirements. This may entail student retake college-level work in which the student received a grade of D or F.
