<p>On the admissions page, it says I have to meet at least ONE aptitude requirement. This is what the page says:</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>*ASU does not require the writing portion of these tests. </p>
<p>Here’s where it gets interesting. In my class rank, I am #90 out of 440. HOWEVER, my GPA is only 2.3. This is because I go to one of the worse high schools in the state of New Jersey. So most students have less than 2.0GPAs. </p>
<p>So technically I am in the Top 25% of the class. Would that get me in? Or is my GPA still too low? I’ve never failed a class other than pre-cal. So I meet the unit requirements as well. Here’s the page if anybody wants to see it.</p>
<p>I also have a GPA around 2.3.
I also go to one of the worst high schools in New Jersey.
I also have a good class rank despite my GPA.
I also am interested in ASU.
And my name is also Jon.</p>
<p>This is strange.</p>
<p>To answer your question, a lot depends on your SAT scores. Have you taken it? What were your scores?</p>
<p>From what I understand, you can get into ASU as long as you have a pulse.</p>
<p>LOL, sorry I couldn’t resist.</p>
<p>Anyway, it looks to me like you CAN get in (as in you meet the requirements), but might have trouble actually getting in. What are your other stats?</p>
<p>No not necessarily, you can’t have more than 4 D’s also on your transcript especially in the areas of Foreign Languages, Math, and Sciences, but you can replace them with high ACT/SAT scores.</p>
<p>JStar7, we haven’t heard yet. He’s taking the SAT again as I type this. If you have an SAT of 1110 or ACT of 24 and you are OOS you should have no problem. Having spoken with an admissions counselor a few times, I’d say your/my son’s chances are fairly good. Do you need Financial Aid, because that could make it a bit more difficult. Good Luck!</p>
<p>I thought Arizona State was harder to get into?
And does anyone know if it is an outdoors-y school at all? Are there any lakes or rivers for wake boarding and other water sports?</p>
<p>JStar - my son got in to ASU 2 weeks ago with a 2.92 and a 1050 sat. They never asked for his 7th semester grades. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>dcwalker - there really isn’t much in the way of water - its in the desert - but there are lots of places to go for weekend trips. If you are looking for an outdoorsy school in arizona, you should check out Northern Arizona U.</p>
<p>Elizabeth, when did your son apply? I applied a few weeks ago and I’m just wondering when I can expect a response. Also are you an AZ resident? I think it’s a easier for residents of AZ to gen it. In-state SAT score you need to get admitted is 1040(correct me if im wrong) and out-of-state score is 1110. 1050 meets in-state criteria but not out-of-state. </p>
<p>Thanks for your help and congrats to your son!</p>
<p>i applied about 2 or 3 months ago and i got my decision about a week ago. i had a 2.87 gpa and a 1740 SAT (1250 math and critical). i got into the engineering college and im out of state…but like PBush said…i dont think its that hard to get in…and lake havasu is about 3 hours away but its a great lake for wakeboarding and partying on springbreak.</p>
