See our catalog (49k PDF) for a complete listing of admission requirements.
The fact that a student may not meet one or more of the minimum requirements does not necessarily mean that he or she will not succeed at Calvin. Students with lower grades or scores, or with fewer college preparatory courses are still invited to apply, and will be considered individually by the Committee on Admissions. Please contact your Admissions Counselor for more information.
