University of Iowa chance

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey, so I was wondering how hard is it get into UOI? I'm currently a Junior in high school and I have 3.0 unweighted gpa and I got a 30 on my ACT's. I do particapte in a few clubs after school and I am on the Track and Field team. So, what are my chances of getting into that school? By the way, I'm in all regular classes, not in any AP's since I don't want to risk my chances in those classes and end up ruining my GPA even more. Thanks.</p>

<p>P.S I also go to a very competitive high school, which is ranked in the top 5 in my state. I live in Illinois.</p>

<p>I also want to major in computer science. And, maybe minor in Law or business. </p>

<p>So, do you guys think I can get into UI?</p>

<p>Youll probably get in. Your GPA is a little low, but your ACT is above average.</p>

3

<p>Low match, given your OOS status.</p>

What do you mean by that?</p>

<p>I don’t know if they still use this criteria but Iowa used to use the above formula to make admissions decisions. Note that there is a link that talks about non-Iowa applicants.</p>

<p>You have a chance to get into U Iowa.</p>

<p>I heard that if you got a certain score on the ACT or the SAT, you could automatically get in?</p>

<p>For admission to Iowa (specifically the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences), one must have a RAI score of 245 if in-state or 255 if out of state. You can find youd RAI score by going to this website below.

<p>You must also meet Iowa’s minimum high school course requirements, which are listed in the link below.

<p>I am an Iowan already accepted into Iowa, and I am almost certain you would get in. The only factors in admissions is the RAI score and your high school courses. Good luck and PM me if you have any more questions about Iowa!</p>

<p>Hey Jenny thanks for the response. I put in my information and I got this message:</p>

<p>Based on the information provided, your unofficial index score is: 498</p>

<p>So, can I get in? I already meet all the required courses and I passed every single one of them with a C or above (hence the 3.0 GPA)</p>

<p>The only class I got a D was in health, in sophomore year. Long story.</p>

12

<p>498? Are you sure about that? Plugging in your stats you’d have to be ranked #1 out of a 1000 and have taken nearly 60 full-year core classes in high school!</p>

13

<p>More like 298… but even if RAI was 298 you still have a chance.</p>

14

<p>You’ll definitely get in, that RAI score seems very high though. I think mine was in the high-300s so it’s possible I guess. You would be eligible for the honors program too but you would need a 3.7 GPA for that. You could apply to the Honors program via the Individual Review Process if you want to be a part of honors and your GPA or test scores aren’t high enough. I definitely recommend you go for honors because it offers a lot of opportunities (housing, scholarships, etc.) that most students don’t get. </p>

<p>Catria… if her score is above the RAI she doesn’t just have a chance, she is AUTOMATICALLY ADMITTED.</p>

<p>We all already understood it, except for you.</p>
