<p>What are some? just wondering.</p>
<p>Indiana University didn’t admit anyone with an SAT score below a 1050 for the Fall of 2009, even though there is supposedly no minimum SAT score for acceptance.
[IU</a>, Purdue rejecting more Hoosiers](<a href=“http://www.wishtv.com/dpp/news/education/IU_Purdue_rejecting_more_Hoosiers_20090330]IU”>http://www.wishtv.com/dpp/news/education/IU_Purdue_rejecting_more_Hoosiers_20090330)</p>
<p>I’ve also heard that the University of Maryland focuses more on test scores (and even essays, interestingly enough) than GPA.</p>
<p>However, the common data sets for a given school should list each category (GPA, test scores, essays, class rank…) as either “Very Important,” “Important,” “Considered,” or “Not Considered.”</p>
<p>In general large state schools will be more willing to forgive average/bad grades for good scores. LACs and smaller Us tend to look using a more composite approach. This is obviously a broad generality depending on the individual schools. As the previous poster said, It’s a good idea to look the Common Data Sets of schools you are interested in and see where the SAT/ACT fall in the interest column vs. grades.</p>
<p>Ohio University- they list level of scholarhips relative to gpa/scores. They have an outstanding journalism/communication program.</p>
