Grades 9-11

Welcome high school students!

Admission requirements

If you are an incoming freshman with a 2.75 GPA, you have no minimum ACT or SAT requirement, although you are still required to submit your test scores. If your GPA is between a 2.0 and 2.74, you are required to have an ACT composite score of 21 or better; or an SAT score of 990 or better. If you completed the SAT prior to 2007 you are required to have an SAT score of 970 or better.

Home schooled students are admissible if they provide documents of study showing a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or higher and official ACT scores. A minimum composite score of 21 on the ACT is required with grade point averages between 2.0 and 2.74. Home schooled students are strongly encouraged to meet personally with an admissions counselor prior to initial enrollment.

Paying for college

We know that college may sound like it’s expensive. The good news is, there are ways you can get some assistance for your education. Wayne State provides both need- and merit-based financial aid and scholarships for its students.

When we talk about need-based financial aid and scholarships, we mean that students whose parents meet a certain income requirement may be able to receive some money to help pay for college.

Merit-based financial aid and scholarships are based on how well you perform academically. So, your grades in school, test scores, designated major and extracurricular activities may all be things taken in to consideration for these types of awards.

Check out financialaid.wayne.edu and/or scholarships.wayne.edu to start looking at financial options to help pay for college.
