How Easy is It to Pick Your Classes Asu

What are ASU's admission requirements? While there are a lot of pieces that go into a college application, you should focus on only a few critical things:

• GPA requirements
• Testing requirements, including SAT and ACT requirements
• Application requirements

In this guide we'll cover what you need to get into ASU and build a strong application.

School location: Tempe, AZ

This school is also known as: Arizona State University

Admissions Rate: 84.8%

If you want to get in, the first thing to look at is the acceptance rate. This tells you how competitive the school is and how serious their requirements are.

The acceptance rate at ASU is 84.8%. For every 100 applicants, 85 are admitted.

This means the school is lightly selective. The school will have their expected requirements for GPA and SAT/ACT scores. If you meet their requirements, you're almost certain to get an offer of admission. But if you don't meet ASU's requirements, you'll be one of the unlucky few people who gets rejected.

ASU GPA Requirements

Many schools specify a minimum GPA requirement, but this is often just the bare minimum to submit an application without immediately getting rejected.

The GPA requirement that really matters is the GPA you need for a real chance of getting in. For this, we look at the school's average GPA for its current students.

Average GPA: 3.54

The average GPA at ASU is 3.54.

(Most schools use a weighted GPA out of 4.0, though some report an unweighted GPA.

With a GPA of 3.54, ASU requires you to be around average in your high school class. You'll need a mix of A's and B's, and very few C's. If you have a lower GPA, you can compensate with harder courses like AP or IB classes. This will help boost your weighted GPA and show your ability to take college classes.

SAT and ACT Requirements

Each school has different requirements for standardized testing. Most schools require the SAT or ACT, and many also require SAT subject tests.

ASU recommends that you take the SAT or ACT. This means the test might be optional, but submitting a good SAT/ACT score will boost your application chances, especially since most other students will be submitting their scores.

ASU SAT Requirements

Many schools say they have no SAT score cutoff, but the truth is that there is a hidden SAT requirement. This is based on the school's average score.

Average SAT: 1245

The average SAT score composite at ASU is a 1245 on the 1600 SAT scale.

This score makes ASU Competitive for SAT test scores.

ASU SAT Score Analysis (New 1600 SAT)

The 25th percentile New SAT score is 1130, and the 75th percentile New SAT score is 1360. In other words, a 1130 on the New SAT places you below average, while a 1360 will move you up to above average.

Here's the breakdown of new SAT scores by section:

Section	Average	25th Percentile	75th Percentile
Math	625	560	690
Reading + Writing	620	570	670
Composite	1245	1130	1360

SAT Score Choice Policy

The Score Choice policy at your school is an important part of your testing strategy.

ASU has the Score Choice policy of "Highest Sitting."

This means that you can choose which SAT tests you want to send to the school. Of all the scores they receive, your application readers will consider the SAT score from your single highest test date (the sum of math, reading, and writing).

This is important for your testing strategy. Because you can choose which tests to send in, and ASU only considers your highest score on a single test date, you can take the SAT as many times as you want, then submit your strongest score. Your application readers will only see that one score.

Therefore, if your SAT score is currently below a 1130, we strongly recommend that you consider prepping for the SAT and retaking it. You don't have much to lose, and you can potentially raise your score and significantly boost your chances of getting in.

ASU ACT Requirements

Just like for the SAT, ASU likely doesn't have a hard ACT cutoff, but if you score too low, your application will get tossed in the trash.

Average ACT: 26

The average ACT score at ASU is 26. This score makes ASU Moderately Competitive for ACT scores.

The 25th percentile ACT score is 22, and the 75th percentile ACT score is 29.

ACT Score Sending Policy

If you're taking the ACT as opposed to the SAT, you have a huge advantage in how you send scores, and this dramatically affects your testing strategy.

Here it is: when you send ACT scores to colleges, you have absolute control over which tests you send. You could take 10 tests, and only send your highest one. This is unlike the SAT, where many schools require you to send all your tests ever taken.

This means that you have more chances than you think to improve your ACT score. To try to aim for the school's ACT requirement of 22 and above, you should try to take the ACT as many times as you can. When you have the final score that you're happy with, you can then send only that score to all your schools.

ACT Superscore Policy

By and large, most colleges do not superscore the ACT. (Superscore means that the school takes your best section scores from all the test dates you submit, and then combines them into the best possible composite score). Thus, most schools will just take your highest ACT score from a single sitting.

We weren't able to find the school's exact ACT policy, which most likely means that it does not Superscore. Regardless, you can choose your single best ACT score to send in to ASU, so you should prep until you reach our recommended target ACT score of 22.

SAT/ACT Writing Section Requirements

Both the SAT and ACT have an optional essay section.

ASU considers the SAT Essay/ACT Writing section optional and may not include it as part of their admissions consideration. You don't need to worry too much about Writing for this school, but other schools you're applying to may require it.

SAT Subject Test Requirements

Schools vary in their SAT subject test requirements. Typically, selective schools tend to require them, while most schools in the country do not.

ASU has indicated that SAT subject tests are required for SOME applicants. Typically this means that applying to certain majors or colleges within the school requires SAT subject tests, and others don't. Read further to see if you'll need to submit SAT subject scores.

Typically, your SAT/ACT and GPA are far more heavily weighed than your SAT Subject Tests. If you have the choice between improving your SAT/ACT score or your SAT Subject Test scores, definitely choose to improve your SAT/ACT score.

Our Expert's Notes

We did more detailed research into this school and found the following information.

Admission is guaranteed if you meet their high school course requirements (aka the "competency requirements") and ONE of the following four categories:
-you're in the top 25% of your high school graduating class
-you have at least a 3.00 GPA in competency classes
-you scored an ACT of at least 22 (24 for nonresidents)
-or you scored an SAT reasoning of at least 1040 (1110 non residents).
(The writing section is not required for either test.)

Furthermore, admission may be granted with one deficiency in no more than two competency areas. Deficiencies cannot be in both math and lab science. Students must earn a minimum 2.00 GPA in any subject area. Most competencies may also be met by test scores or college courses. Requirements may be higher for other degree programs and the honors college.

Final Admissions Verdict

Because this school is lightly selective, you have a great shot at getting in, as long as you don't fall well below average. Aim for a 1130 SAT or a 22 ACT or higher, and you'll almost certainly get an offer of admission. As long as you meet the rest of the application requirements below, you'll be a shoo-in.

But if you score below our recommended target score, you may be one of the very few unlucky people to get rejected.
