<p>As far as I know, if you meet the above requirements, you’re in. So if you’re an in-state student and you take the above classes, you’re in, seeing as you meet the ACT requirement for in-state students. If you’re OOS, you may want to raise those stats.</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that some programs are more selective than others. I imagine it would be more difficult to get into the engineering or business schools.</p>

<p>Yes, ASU is very easy to get into to. You might be admitted with conditions but I see tons of really low GPA’s from HS.</p>
