Hey! I'm pretty interested in ASU and I was wondering if anyone knew what their acceptance rate was? I'm a little bit stressed out on whether or not I'd be able to get in. If anyone has any idea, it would be very helpful!
Arizona State University (ASU) is known for its inclusive acceptance policy. As of 2024, the acceptance rate at ASU is approximately 90%, a figure that has remained relatively constant over recent years. This means that out of every 100 applicants, around 90 students are admitted.
This high acceptance rate, however, doesn't indicate that ASU disregards academic achievements. To be competitive in terms of test scores, you will need to score at least a 1120 on the SAT or 22 on the ACT. Also, the average high school GPA of incoming ASU freshmen is approximately 3.54.
While these figures provide a guideline, remember that a candidate is not simply reduced to their academic stats. ASU looks at the holistic picture, evaluating your personal statement, extracurricular activities, and the rigor of your high school curriculum among other factors.
Keep in mind that some ASU programs may even have further competitive admission processes due to the popularity or the rigor of the program. It's always a good idea to reach out directly to ASU or the specific program's admissions office if you have questions.
