What a recruit needs before this school can say yes
- → NCAA eligibility: 2.3 core GPA (full qualifier) from your best 16 core courses — no SAT/ACT requirement, and 10 of the 16 lock before senior year.
- → Admissions: coaches advocate, but the admissions office admits. The middle-50% SAT above is the real conversation at this school.
