Admission decisions are weighted heavily on previous academic and college admission test performance; however, SUNY Poly practices a holistic admissions approach. We acknowledge that a student\u2019s success in college is dependent on many factors, and we incorporate personal essays, letters of recommendation and other supplemental information into our decision-making process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">SUNY Poly will consider candidates for admission who do not otherwise meet the general admission criteria, but possess or have exhibited special talents (academic, athletics, technology, leadership, etc.). Upon request, students may have their special talent reviewed by the admissions staff, faculty and athletic coaches. Special talent candidates must present formal evidence of their special talent and may be asked to interview with the Special Talent Admissions Committee prior to receiving a final admission decision. SUNY Poly participates in Early Action and in the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If admitted, the decision is provisional; students admitted with self-reported academic transcripts and test scores must present final transcripts and have test scores officially submitted for credential evaluation and diploma verification prior to matriculation. Students admitted with official transcripts must also submit final official documentation of coursework in progress for diploma verification. Failure to meet this requirement will jeopardize financial aid awards and matriculation standing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">SUNY Poly reserves the right to rescind an admission decision if academic progress was not maintained by the student as evident in final transcripts, or information is conflicting with original self-reported information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>First-Year Student Admission Criteria<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Utica<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Average GPA: B\/B+<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">SAT middle 50%: 1100-1290 (ERW+M)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">ACT: 24-27<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">1-2 letters of recommendation<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">A supplemental application that includes a personal essay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">A personal interview is highly recommended and will be used with supplemental information as a factor in determining admission.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Albany<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Average GPA: A-\/A<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">SAT Middle 50%: 1290-1420 (CR+M)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">ACT: 29-32<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">1-2 letters of recommendation<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">A supplemental application that includes a personal essay<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">A personal interview is highly recommended and will be used with supplemental information as a factor in determining admission.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW262774016 BCX0\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW262774016 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW262774016 BCX0\"><strong>Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the State University of New York has suspended the required submission of SAT\/ACT scores for determining admission eligibility for the spring \u201921, fall \u201921, spring \u201922 and fall \u201922 admission cycles.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><span class=\"EOP TrackedChange SCXW262774016 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Transfer Admission Criteria:<\/b>\u00a0A transfer student is generally a student who has earned college credit following high school graduation.
