Hi, I’m a junior in Highschool, I have a GPA od around 3.0 maybe 2.8 unweighted. I have over 500 hours of community service and I will be taking my SAT and ACT next month. Also, I will only have taken 3 years of math by the end of my senior year. ( I become brain dead when it comes to math!)
I was wondering what my chances would be of getting into ASU
Here are the Freshman requirements for ASU. If you meet these, then you should be fine.
ASU welcomes applications from students with diverse academic backgrounds and interests. Freshman applicants who possess a high school diploma and meet the following requirements will be admitted to ASU.
English - 4 years (composition/literature based)
Math - 4 years (algebra I, 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 1 year American history)
Foreign Language - 2 years (same language)
Fine Arts or Career and Technical Education - 1 year
Applicants must also meet at least one of the following:
Top 25% in high school graduating class
3.00 GPA in competency courses (4.00 = “A”)
ACT 22 (24 nonresidents)*
SAT Reasoning 1040 (1110 nonresidents)*
*ASU does not require the writing portion of these tests.
Applicants must successfully complete the ASU competency requirement. Admission may be granted with one deficiency in no more than two competency areas. Deficiencies cannot be in both math and laboratory science. Students must earn a minimum 2.00 in any subject area. Most competencies may also be met by test scores or college courses. See Detailed Competency Requirements for more information.
Higher Requirements for Some ASU Schools and Colleges Some schools and colleges have higher requirements for admission to their majors. To learn more about admission requirements, find the major of your interest at Degree Search. You should select a second major on your application if your first choice has higher admission requirements.
Individual Review All students who don’t meet the above standards will be evaluated through a process called Individual Review. Through this process Admission Services will review all available information about a student’s application, carefully considering all aspects of a student’s academic background and accomplishments. Submission of an ACT or SAT test score is highly recommended. In some cases, additional information might be requested.
Okay thank you. I am ALWAYS on ASU’s website but I wasn’t sure if the lack of my fourth year of math will automatically stop me from being accepted.
@21pilots21: Well according to the requirements, it seems like you need up to Pre-Calc to meet the requirements unless AP Stats qualifies. If this is true and you only have up to Alg II, then you do not meet the requirements. If unsure, I would contact admissions to clarify.
So basically…no ASU?
I would contact admissions and get the final word about your math classes.
