Making the decision to apply to the University of Connecticut means you understand the importance of a UConn degree and where it can lead. Every year we strive to create an incoming class of the highest quality, a diverse student body comprised of intellectually curious, highly motivated, and academically accomplished individuals of strong moral character. This means no one piece of information — grade point average, class rank, essays, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation (optional), or standardized test scores (optional) — will determine if you would be a good fit for our community. Instead, we make selections based on a comprehensive review of all the information you provide on your application, both academic and personal. This allows us to gain a full understanding of your potential to thrive at UConn.
