To apply for admission, go to http://apply.ua.edu/.  The University has rolling admissions, meaning that applications are reviewed as they become complete, with admission offers typically being extended two to six weeks after receipt of the completed application and required materials. Students with at least a GPA of 3.0 and an SAT of 1000 (Math and Critical Reading only) or ACT of 21 are typically offered admission.  Students with lower scores are also encouraged to apply, although admission decisions may take significantly longer, and students may be offered restricted or conditional admission. The application is typically available each year by July 1, the scholarship deadline is December 1, and the admission deadline is February 1.
