Guaranteed admission?

[geedubz895lma0]

is it true that you really are guaranteed admission to ASU as long as you meet one of the gpa/ test score requirements listed on their website?

No, guaranteed admission is not for first year students.
The requirements listed above are the minimums to be considered for admission.

I talked to an admissions counselor at ASU and he said that if you meet the requirements listed above you are guaranteed admission as a freshman.

[geedubz895lma0]
