If you are below or on the lower end of one or more of the ranges listed in the Average Student Profile, you may be selected for additional review before an admission decision can be made.

This review is conducted within the Office of Admissions by the Admissions Review Committee and allows for an opportunity to learn about the student in a more holistic view before making a recommendation on an admission decision. We understand some students have circumstances that have impacted their academic performance and MSU Denver believes in the opportunity to support those who can still demonstrate a good fit with exceptional education goals.
