To be assured admission to UNL, you must have an ACT of 20 or higher, SAT of 950 or higher, or rank in the top 50 percent of your graduating high school class.

If you do not meet the UNL admissions standards, be sure to speak with someone in the UNL Admissions Office. Students can be admitted with deficiencies, with an understanding they will complete the deficiencies within an allotted time frame. Some students also have special situations that warrant special consideration.
