The Cincinnati Top Ten

The University of Cincinnati is excited to participate in a program for students from Cincinnati Public Schools, Roger Bacon, Purcell Marian, and DePaul Cristo Rey for the 2017-2018 school year. Students who are ranked in the top 10% of their high school graduating class (at the time of application), and who historically would not have been offered admission via the regular holistic review process, will receive a specialized review for admission to a University of Cincinnati major. This review will happen automatically—students do not need to request it—and students will only receive one admission decision.

To meet the requirements for specialized review*, students must:

• Attend a Cincinnati Public Schools high school or DePaul Cristo Rey High School, Purcell Marian High School, or Roger Bacon High School
• Be ranked in the top 10% of their graduating class (at the time of application)
• Submit a complete application, including official ACT or SAT test scores, to the University of Cincinnati for admission before the March 1 rolling admission deadline
• Enroll at the University of Cincinnati no more than one year after graduating from high school, and not have enrolled at another 2-year or 4-year college/university after high school graduation

The University of Cincinnati is excited about this opportunity to continue to serve our community through the Cincinnati Top Ten Percent Program!

*Applications will still be reviewed for disciplinary/criminal issues, and students may not be offered admission due to this review.
