Appeal of Admission Decisions

Experience has shown that most students who earn less than a 2.5 GPA in high school, or who score less than 21 on the ACT or 970 (combined) on the SAT, will do poorly at New Mexico Tech. If you do not meet the requirements for admission, but believe that you have the skills to succeed at New Mexico Tech, please complete an application and send it with supporting documents to the Academic Standards and Admission Committee, care of the Director of Admission. These supporting documents must include:

a typed, written statement from you indicating why you believe you should be considered for admission and why you can succeed at Tech;
a minimum of two letters from people (e.g., high school science and math teachers) who are very familiar with your potential for study at a technical university; and
other documentation (e.g., participation in science fairs, Science Olympiad, and other relevant technical activities) that you believe bears on the matter of your preparation for bachelor's-level study.

In addition, we strongly recommend that, if your ACT or SAT score was below our requirements, you retake the ACT or SAT exam and resubmit your scores to us. We will take your highest score into consideration.

Deadlines for appealing admission decisions are:

July 1 for Fall semester
December 1 for Spring semester
June 1 for Summer session
