If you do not meet these requirements, a more holistic review will be used to evaluate your application for admission. The Holistic Review Committee, comprised of administrators, faculty members and staff from across the university, meets once a month to discuss these on a case-by-case basis. If you would like to submit additional documents for review, such as a letter of appeal and/or a letter of recommendation from a high school counselor or teacher, please email admissions@tntech.edu.
The review process is a non-competitive, holistic, and individualized process where the Holistic Review Committee may consider some or all of the following: academic rigor of courses, core course GPA and grade trends; as well as non-cognitive elements such as an applicant’s concept of self, ability to deal with adversity, long-range goals, community involvement, special interests or abilities, leadership, and support structures. Requests for review may be sent to admissions@tntech.edu.
