I have a 3.5 gpa, a 19 on my ACT, and have only failed one class, honors pre-algebra. They forced me into two year algebra, would that effect my chances of getting in? I am also out of state. What are my chances of getting in with these credentials?

My understanding is that ASU is an easy school to get into. Most people use it as a back up so you shouldn’t have any problem.

I have a GED score of 561 on my transcript, and I will have 13 credits at the end of this semester at community college in NC?
Do you think thats good?

They will accept just about anybody. As long as you spell your name and your Social Securtiy number correctly on your app you’ll get in. Unless your’e a complete dipshit

I’ve heard the acceptance rate is like 90%, but I’m from Alabama and will have 41 credits by the time I want to transfer there in Fall 2010. I have a 3.6 gpa and a 20 on the ACT. I didn’t know if I had less of a chance since I’m out-of-state, or what. What are my chances?

I can nearly guarantee your acceptance with that phenomenal grade point average. I attended University of Missouri and was able to transfer to ASU with only a 3.0 GPA. Don’t worry about getting in; just be concerned with paying for it. Out of state is expensive. I went the financial aid route. After you have lived in the great state of Arizona for a year, apply for in-state tuition. They will look at things like having in-state employment & proving that you reside in AZ with proof you pay rent here. Good luck!

i screwed up my first 2 years of highschool so now i have a 2.3 gpa but i have a 25 on the act. what are my chances of getting accepted?

I wouldn’t say they’re the best, but there’s always a possibility. About 3% of students who got in had a GPA between 2.0 and 2.49. But if you work harder in your last 2 years of high school, you’ll most likely do just fine. Or you could go to a community college for a couple years, and then apply to ASU. And remember: GPA and the ACT scores are important, but they’re not everything. Schools also try to figure out who you really are, and see how you could help improve/add to their community. And if something happened (death, illness, etc.) during your first 2 years, schools are very understanding of that sort of thing. The same thing sort of happened to me in my first year of high school. I didn’t realize how different high school would be from middle school, and I did really badly. If that’s what you did, don’t worry; a lot of students have that problem. As long as you improve some how in academics, and show the college what you have to offer them, you’ll do great. Good luck!
