Your Next Steps to McMurry
We evaluate students for admission on an individual basis. Each application is assessed based on academic merits (both high school grade point average and entrance exam scores*) and extracurricular activities. GPAs are recalculated for all students on a weighted 4.0 scale. Students are welcome to submit additional items such as letters of recommendation or essays, though these items are not required. This holistic approach allows McMurry to evaluate each student’s strengths.
* McMurry is a test-optional university. Just let us know if you would like to apply with or without submitting test scores on your application! We also know sometimes it’s hard to decide which option to choose, so students are able to change their selection even after applying.
Steps to Apply
