What we look for
UW–Porter Falls admits on a holistic basis: high school GPA, course rigor, and (optionally) test scores. There is no minimum GPA cutoff, but the middle 50 percent of admitted students carried a 3.1–3.7 unweighted GPA. Several programs — Nursing and the B.F.A. programs in particular — have additional application steps beyond general admission; each program page lists them.
