Applicants are considered for undergraduate admission based on either of the following two pathways:
1) Test Optional Admission - With Avila's test-optional admission process, applicants that hold a 2.75 or higher high school core GPA may be admitted to Avila without submitting an ACT or SAT score.
- Requires Core GPA of 2.75 or above
