Ranking and Admissions

Applicants who meet all minimum eligibility requirements are evaluated using a standardized point system outlined in the published Admissions Packet.

Applicants are initially ranked based on total admission points earned in designated coursework, which includes prerequisite courses and additional courses from the Radiologic Technology degree plan. Admissions points are awarded only for grades of C or higher as follows:

• BIOL 2401, Anatomy and Physiology I - 10 points for A; 5 points for B; 2 points for C

• MATH 1314, College Algebra - 10 points for A; 5 points for B; 2 points for C

• BIOL 2402, Anatomy and Physiology II - 10 points for A; 5 points for B; 2 points for C

• HPRS 1106, Medical Terminology - 5 points for A; 3 points for B; 1 point for C

• Social/Behavioral Sciences Elective - 5 points for A; 3 points for B; 1 point for C

• ENGL 1301, Composition I - 5 points for A; 3 points for B; 1 point for C

When applicants have equivalent total admission points, the cumulative GPA, calculated from all attempts of all courses designated for admissions points, is used as a secondary ranking factor.

Following this initial ranking, the highest-ranked applicants participate in an in-person interview. Interviews are evaluated using a standardized scoring rubric and are worth 6-30 points. Final rank is determined primarily by the average interview score, with secondary ranking given to the applicant’s admission point total, in the event of equal interview scores.

Additional information regarding the interview process and scoring criteria is published in the program’s Admissions Packet on the program webpage at https://www.midland.edu/academics/degrees/health/radiologic-tech.php.
