<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have a pretty weak GPA of 2.72 unweighted. My ACT score is 22. My class is not ranked. I am in some extra curriculars, but the ASU app doesn't ask for that.</p>
<p>What do you think are my chances of being accepted into Arizona State University? I am an out-of-state student. How about Michigan State University?!</p>
<p>Please help! I've been stressing over this for a while now.</p>
<p>Ok</p>
<p>Does AzSt use weighted GPA? If so, that would help.</p>
<p>What is your weighted GPA?
Does that include the weighted GPA for ALL your classes (including PE and electives)?</p>
<p>Your chances are much better at AzSt then at Mich St. </p>
<p>What is your home state?</p>
<p>What is your major? </p>
<p>What are your reasons for picking AzSt?</p>
<p>Can your parents afford all Out of state costs?</p>
<p>From the ASU Website:</p>
<p>Students must meet one of the following aptitude requirements:</p>
<p>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)*
*ASU does not require the writing portion of these tests.</p>
<p>Competency courses… So I’m guessing that is the core classes only. Like Math, Science, English, Social Studies. No electives like PE. At least that’s how MSU does it.</p>
<p>If I count my core classes only, I drop to a ~2.58 from 2.72.</p>
<p>My home state is Michigan, I plan on going into their Business school, I heard ASU has a good Business school so I applied there, and yes my parents are willing to pay the cost.</p>
<p>You might consider The University of Alabama. It has a really strong business school.</p>
<p>here’s the link to the business school… [The</a> Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration](<a href=“http://www.cba.ua.edu/]The”>http://www.cba.ua.edu/)</p>
<p>It’s a beautiful campus, strong academics, better weather, and nicer dorms! :)</p>
<p>Alabama accepts your best weighted GPA that is on your transcript (including PE, electives, religion, whatever). So, if your total weighted GPA is 3.0, then you’d get accepted to Alabama.</p>
<p>Here’s the link to Bama… [The</a> University of Alabama](<a href=“Page Not Found | The University of Alabama”>http://www.ua.edu/)</p>
<p>Here’s the link to the virtual tour and iTour [Campus</a> Tour - The University of Alabama](<a href=“Page Not Found | The University of Alabama”>http://tour.ua.edu/)</p>
<p>The GPA on my transcript is 2.722. Still not the 3.0 needed for Alabama.</p>
<p>I also heard that Arizona State University has a 92% acceptance rate? Is this true? I also looked at other websites, looking at other people who have gotten admitted to ASU, I see a lot of people have GPA’s and ACT’s lower than mine. But that still doesn’t guarantee my admission. I just want to know how my chances are at ASU.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help, btw!</p>
<p>So any other help?</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>AzSt does have a high acceptance rate. But, do they require a 3.0 GPA? </p>
<p>Your ACT is 62 percentile.</p>
<p>Have you considered going to a cc for a year and then transferring with better grades?</p>
<p>ASU says 2.5-2.99 is considered. I see on their acceptance chart that a lot of people with below a 3.0 have been accepted.</p>
<p>Yes I have considered a CC. I was thinking if ASU doesn’t work out, I should move to Arizona regardless, go to a CC there then apply to ASU if all else fails.</p>
