The key number is not Mineral Area’s 94% acceptance rate; it is the 65% freshman retention rate. Plan for the support, schedule, and finances that will keep you enrolled after you get in. Because the school is test-optional, submit SAT or ACT scores if they show skills your grades do not fully capture or help with placement.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Mineral Area, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall for retakes, especially if superscoring could help. Because Mineral Area does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, make your last fall retake the latest test date whose scores will arrive before the regular admission deadline.
