Alternative Admission

First-time students admitted under this Right-to-Try admission option are those who do not meet State Regents’ admission standards for Science & Arts but have a reasonable chance for academic success and could possess unusual talent or abilities. A limited number of students may be admitted under this category, based on 8 percent of the number of previous year’s first-time or 50 students (whichever is greater). The criteria are oriented to identifying those students who:

1. Have a reasonable chance of academic success, based on ACT or SAT scores, high school unweighted GPA, class rank, or GPA in the 15-unit core, or
2. Have unusual talent or ability in art, drama, music, sports, etc., or
3. Are educationally or economically disadvantaged and show promise of being able to succeed in a program or curriculum at Science & Arts.

All candidates for the Right-to-Try admission option will be reviewed by the Holistic Admissions Review Committee (HARC) to determine the likelihood of academic success and admissibility. Students who are accepted and enrolled under these Right-to-Try criteria will be required to participate in the Drover Achievement Program (DAP).
