Knoxville, TN (WOKI) With it’s growing nationwide popularity, admission to the University of Tennessee has become very selective, prompting anxiety for homegrown students who have dreamed of attending the school.
Now, with the passage of a proposal guaranteeing them admission to UT, Tennessee’s high school students can breathe a little easier.
The UT Board of Trustees passed the guaranteed admission proposal for top Tennessee high schoolers on Friday, September 8, 2023; to qualify, students must meet any of the following criteria:
- Finish in the top 10% of their high school’s graduating class; or
- Achieve a 4.0 or higher GPA; or
- Achieve a 3.2 or higher GPA and have an ACT composite score of 23 or higher (or an SAT score of 1130-1150 or higher)
The Knoxville campus will require students to have a minimum of a 19 subscore in Math and English.
The proposal is effective immediately, starting with the fall 2024 class.
