At what point does an 8 or 9 Academic Index basically become an "auto-admit?"

There are honestly so many other factors involved in college admission that simply using an “Academic Index” simply is not accurate.

However, I am aware that certain colleges like Penn State have this chart where if you have a certain SAT and GPA ratio of some sort you are guaranteed admissions. I’m sure an academic index of an 8 or 9 would easily appease those requirements. So Penn State.

And I’m not a 100% sure of this so don’t quote me on it, but I believe you could certainly get in to your own state school. Not including the UCs of course.
