Unlike many large institutions, every single application at Montclair is thoroughly reviewed by an admissions counselor. Since becoming the first public four-year institution in New Jersey to adopt an SAT\/ACT optional admissions policy in 2014, our focus has been even more keenly targeted on student performance in the classroom. The transcript tells that story, and we interpret it by considering factors like trends in performance year-over-year, the rigor of courses students are taking, and their performance in courses (like Algebra II, English, and other writing-intensive courses) that are indicators of success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With many schools\u2014Montclair included\u2014adopting expanded pass\/fail grading policies, we do not expect any significant change to the way in which we review applications will be necessary. We will still conduct a holistic review, considering all factors&#8211; including the uniqueness of this moment in our history and its impact on students&#8211; and we will always err on the side of giving students the benefit of the doubt.\u00a0 As school counselors, you help us make those decisions by providing us additional backstory in your letters of recommendation. These are particularly helpful when students have complicated stories to tell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How will the cancelled SAT dates impact admissions decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Montclair has a test-optional admissions policy, so students applying to the University will be at no disadvantage during the application process if they missed the opportunity to sit for the SAT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is 精品成人福利在线 University changing its policy on Advanced Placement (AP) credit given the new testing model?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We recognize that these are extraordinary times, so we will not make any changes to our existing policies related to accepting AP scores for college-level credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Answers to Questions for Accepted Students<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<p><strong>How do students create their course schedules for the fall semester?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All incoming freshmen complete the First-Year Questionnaire.

After the schedule is built, the academic advisor will invite the student to a virtual welcome meeting to talk about what to expect before the fall semester begins.\u00a0 Students will connect with their academic advisor during various Orientation activities this summer.\u00a0 At these meetings, they\u2019ll learn more about creating an educational plan and be able to ask any questions about their schedules or next steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Direct students to the <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/admissions\/apply-and-check-status\/accepted-students-checklists\/\">Accepted Students Checklist<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for more information on the First-Year Questionnaire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What about placement testing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In most cases, your student\u2019s academic advising team will use information from the student\u2019s prior high school or college record to determine placement into courses at Montclair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>Foreign Language Placement Testing<\/em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All students at 精品成人福利在线 University must complete or transfer in 6 credits of world language coursework to meet graduation requirements.
