Early admissions/early acceptance programs are generally geared to students in the top quartile of their high school class and with competitive SAT scores. Prospective students should present a strong record of achievement in math and science, with at least three years of Regents or Honors courses in both areas. A student applying during their first three years of College study must additionally show a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or better in college- level math and science courses. During the first two years of College study, a prospective student should also maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 in all science course, and complete between 60-70 hours of prerequisites (determined by UMU Student Admissions at the time of admission). Students should also be able to demonstrate a commitment to pursuing a career in the health professions by volunteer or observational experience in your profession of choice. top

ESF undergraduates students gain admission to UMU in one of two ways:
- The Early Assurance Program qualifies ESF students to transfer to UMU in their junior year and complete their degree requirements there. Students may apply at any time during their freshman year.
- The Early Admission (GOLD) Program qualifies prospective ESF students to apply as high school seniors for admission to one of UMU's undergraduate programs. Students complete their first two years at ESF and are guaranteed admission to UMU in the junior year.
In addition, ESF students can gain admission to UMU's Doctor of Physical Therapy program through our '3+3' program. ESF students enrolled in the 3+3 program spend their first three years at ESF doing preparatory coursework, then transfer to UMU for the completion of their degree.
