<p>[Freshman</a> Admission Requirements and Timelines | Arizona State University](<a href=“http://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements]Freshman”>http://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements)</p>

<p>"Students must meet one of the following aptitude requirements:</p>

<pre><code>* 3.0 GPA in competency courses (2.5 - 2.99 considered)

  • Top 25% (top 26-50% considered)
  • ACT 22 (24 nonresidents)*
  • SAT Reasoning 1040 (1110 nonresidents)*"
    </code></pre>

<p>That SAT score is only the reading and math sections combined. If your SAT score includes writing, you really should work on getting that up.</p>

<p>There are also class requirements;</p>

<p>"Admission may be granted with one deficiency in no more than two competency areas. Deficiencies in both math and laboratory science are not acceptable. Students must earn a minimum 2.0 in any subject area. Most competencies may also be met by test scores or college courses. See Detailed Competency Requirements for more information.</p>

<pre><code>* English - 4 years (composition/literature based)

  • Math - 4 years - Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra II and one course requiring Algebra II as a prerequisite.
  • Laboratory Science - 3 years total (1 year each from any of the following areas are accepted: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Integrated Sciences, and Physics)
  • Social Science - 2 years (including one year American History)
  • Foreign Language - 2 years (same language)
  • Fine Arts - 1 year"
    </code></pre>

<p>ASU does not employ a traditional “admissions process.” They tend to follow these guidelines and accept any student that meets the requirements.</p>

<p>If this SAT score includes writing you could be in trouble - but regardless of the decision, I think you need to ask why you got 6 D’s and 1 F and then earned A’s and B’s in summer school (which took up time and money)?</p>

<p>Lot’s of people are accepted to ASU - but only 56% or so graduate in 6 years - the others spend their money and walk away without a degree. Are you really ready to be at a school this big? You’re likely going to pay a lot to attend, with your grades - wouldn’t it be better to prove yourself in the smaller environment of a community college first, save the money and lower your debt for attending ASU or any other 4 year school?</p>

<p>Unless your grades were the result of a 1 time event (death in the family, parents divorce etc.) you don’t have a great academic track record from high school. With the cost of college, it seems time for some serious soul searching before you spend 30K a year.</p>
