Alternative Admission

First-time students admitted under this Right-to-Try admission option are those who do not meet State Regents’ admission standards for USAO but have a reasonable chance for academic success and could possess unusual talent or abilities. The criteria are oriented to identifying those students who:

1. Have a reasonable chance of academic success, based on ACT, SAT or CLT 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 USAO.

All candidates for the Right-to-Try admission option will be reviewed by the USAO Admissions Committee 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).
