arizona state university is an excellent choice for your studies. but what are the asu sat scores, asu act scores, and asu gpa you need? read on to find out all about asu admissions and how to get into asu.<\/p>\n

how to get into asu: the basics<\/h2>\n

before we look at the basic statistics for asu admissions and how to get into asu, let’s look at the basics of asu itself. arizona state university is a large public university in the phoenix, arizona metro area. according to us news and world report’s rankings<\/a>, asu is number 103 among national universities in the us. this puts asu in the top 10% of schools. and asu is ranked number 1 for innovation by usn&wp, certainly an impressive feat!<\/p>\n

the main asu campus is in tempe, arizona. there are also four other campuses, which you can see on this page from asu’s official website<\/a>. certain majors and schools within asu have their own admissions requirements. but for the most part, the admissions expectations at tempe are also admissions expectations of the satellite asu campuses. (in other words, how to get into asu-tempe is the same as how to get into asu.) below is a list of the general standards for asu sat scores, asu act scores, asu gpa, and the acceptance rate at asu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

again though, this is only the most basic information. and beneath the simple sets of numbers in the table, the real status of asu admissions criteria could best be described as “it’s complicated.”<\/p>\n

asu admissions are trickier than you might first think. this is because asu also looks at exam subscores and section scores to measure competency. asu has certain competency rules for gpa as well. what do these rules mean? in the next few sections of this article, i’ll tell you exactly how “competency” works in asu admissions, as it relates to asu sat scores, asu act scores and asu gpa. (you can also check out asu admissions’ official competencies web page<\/a> for undergraduate applicants.)<\/p>\n

how to get into asu: asu sat scores and competency<\/h2>\n

arizona state university requires students to demonstrate a certain minimum level of competency in a range of academic skills. one way to demonstrate this competency is by sat scores. to demonstrate english competency, asu applicants can have a minimum subscore of 580 in sat reading & writing or a 21 on act english.<\/p>\n

then there’s science competency. that’s where asu sat scores get downright tricky! you see, asu wants its applicants to demonstrate science competency, but the sat doesn’t have a science section. if you’re going to demonstrate your competency through test scores, (and that’s just one option!) asu wants to see minimum test scores in at least three different standardized tests for science, covering three different subject areas. in other words, you’ll need to meet three out of the following four requirements:<\/p>\n
