ASU Auto Admit: How does it work?

Hey everyone! I've been researching ASU and I've come across the term 'auto admit.' Can someone clarify what that means? Are there specific GPA and test score requirements to be auto admitted at ASU?

Hey there! The term "auto admit" refers to the guaranteed or automatic admission into a university based on meeting certain eligibility criteria, like minimum GPA or standardized test scores. In the case of Arizona State University (ASU), they offer a form of auto admission with their "Assured Admission" program.

ASU's Assured Admission program guarantees acceptance for incoming freshmen who meet specific academic requirements. For the 2024-2025 application cycle, the criteria are:

1. Be an Arizona resident, as classified by the university, and

2. Rank in the top 25% of your high school class, or have a 3.00 GPA in competency courses (this typically includes core subjects like English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language).

If you meet these requirements, you're guaranteed admission to ASU. Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are currently optional for ASU applicants, meaning they can be submitted if you think they'll strengthen your application, but they are not an essential requirement for auto admission.

Note that Assured Admission only guarantees your acceptance into the university as a whole, and not necessarily into a specific major or program, as some majors have additional requirements.

To apply, simply submit your application through the ASU website or the Common Application, making sure to include your high school transcripts and any additional required materials. Once the university reviews your application and confirms that you meet the criteria, you should receive an offer of admission.

Hope this helps! Good luck with your college application process.
