Recent Information from Colleges
Colorado State has announced that they are now a Common Application school (http://www.commonapp.org), which may be the best option for students who are applying to other common app schools, otherwise students should use their regular institutional application online. CSU is implementing new admissions standards beginning with the class of 2008, though they emphasize that, at this point, they are standards, not absolute requirements, and applications will continue to receive a holistic review. Candidates are now encouraged to have at least a 3.25 GPA, four years of math, including one year beyond Algebra 2, and at least two years of a foreign language.
