The University of
Alabama employs a competitive freshman admission
process that includes reviewing and evaluating each
application on an individual basis for an
applicant’s abilities as a scholar. Decisions about
the potential for a student’s academic success are
based on ACT and/or SAT performance, high school
grade point average and high school course schedule.
The writing section of either the ACT or SAT is
required. UA is looking for students that show a
commitment to academics and who welcome the robust
exchange of ideas that occur within a diverse and
inclusive learning environment.
