West Texas A & M University

Admissions

Undergraduate Admissions

Students seeking admission to West Texas A&M as freshmen need to complete the application for admission using the Apply Texas Web Application with the exception of pages 5 and 6. Other documents required include official high school transcripts, any college transcripts from other institutions, TAKS scores (for Texas public school students) and ACT/SAT scores.

Students must also have completed or be projected to complete the Texas high school curriculum recommended for college bound students, or a similar curriculum for students who did not attend high school in Texas. Exceptions to this rule may be made for students who have satisfied the College Readiness Benchmarks on the ACT/SAT scores, students who did not attend a Texas high school or were home schooled, or students whose high schools did not offer the recommended curriculum. These students need to fill out exemption forms.

In order to be guaranteed acceptance to WTAMU, students must meet minimum cumulative GPA, class rank and SAT/ACT score requirements. Students with exceptionally high class rank do not need to meet SAT/ACT requirements, and students with extremely high SAT/ACT scores do not need to meet class rank requirements. The writing section of the SAT is not used for admissions purposes.

Students that do not meet the requirements listed above will be considered for admission on a competitive, individual basis and weighted consideration will be given to test scores and class rank.

Students also need to complete the online application for campus housing, preferably by May 1.

Graduate Admissions

Graduate School candidates need to work closely with the program to which they are applying because each school may have different admissions requirements and deadlines. There are, however, several requirements that all the graduate schools have in common. All students need to complete the online Texas Common Application Grad U.S. application and fee. Students may also apply using a traditional paper application but the form is longer. Students that have previously enrolled at WTAMU may complete a Short Graduate Application Form in lieu of the standard Common Application.

All applicants must also submit official transcripts from all schools attended as well as GMAT/GRE scores as applicable. In addition to these requirements, many graduate programs have undergraduate GPA requirements. There are several scholarships available for graduate students and candidates that would like to apply for these should do so by February 1.
