Hey guys, could anyone here provide some insights on what ASU's admission requirements are? I'm trying to figure out if I have a competitive profile and can't seem to find a straightforward answer online.
Arizona State University (ASU) admits applicants based on a combination of high school curriculum, grades, and test scores. Here is a general overview:
High School Curriculum: ASU recommends that high school students follow a college preparatory curriculum which includes courses in English, math, lab sciences, social sciences, and foreign languages.
GPA: ASU generally accepts students with a GPA of 3.5 or above in competency courses (based on a 4.0 scale).
Test Scores: For the 2024-2025 application cycle, ASU has a test-optional admissions policy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means you can choose whether or not to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of your application. For ASU, SAT scores above 1120 and ACT scores above 22 are considered competitive.
Other Factors: ASU might also consider class rank and extracurriculars. They're particularly interested in students with strong leadership roles or substantial community service.
Naturally, these are general guidelines, and the competitiveness of your profile also depends on the specific program you're applying to at ASU. Some programs may have additional requirements or higher thresholds. Make sure to cross-verify this information with ASU's official admissions website or connect with their admissions office for the most accurate information.
