Grand Valley State University - http://www.gvsu.edu/admissions 

Grand Valley grants admission to students who are prepared to meet the challenges of a rigorous university curriculum. An Admissions Counselor carefully reviews each application for admission. Academic as well as other criteria presented by prospective students are considered in the evaluation. Applicants will be reviewed using a combination of high school courses completed, cumulative grade point average, standardized test scores, grade point trend, rank in class and other factors provided by the applicant. A single deficiency in an academic area will not necessarily mean a student is refused admission. However, students who are missing a number of courses are at a disadvantage. 

Subject criteria in high school should include:
  •     Four years of English, including composition
  •     Three years of science, including two years of laboratory science
  •     Three years of college preparatory mathematics
  •     Three years of social science
  •     Two years of a single foreign language

  •     Completed undergraduate application for admission
