<p>i.e. schools that have admission requirements that, if you meet, you’re in.</p>
<p>So far the best college I have found that uses a formula is Iowa (it’s on their website), what are some others?</p>
<p>Are you referring to University of Iowa or Iowa State? Because I know Iowa State does as well.</p>
<p>Hahaha, I suspect that UC schools are doing this, at least to thin the pile of applications they are REALLY going to look at. You should see the scattergrams, it’s pretty good evidence to some formula acceptance at Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, etc.</p>
<p>TAG for transfer students at UCs is already a formula acceptance.</p>
<p>University of Iowa does for sure.</p>
<p>University of Iowa does for any major that isn’t engineering I believe. Northern Iowa and Iowa State also do it.</p>
<p>UW-Madison: there’s a chart on their site.</p>
<p>UW-Madison does have a site that gives probability of admission for a given GPA and SAT score:
<a href=“http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW_FreshmanExpectations.pdf[/url]”>http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW_FreshmanExpectations.pdf</a>
but the key word is “probability.” Admission there is not entirely predictable.</p>
<p>Someone in the UW-Madison forum claimed to have written a one-sentence essay and got accepted. If that’s true it sounds predictable to me.</p>
<p>Madison has a chart for chances, but I’m asking about colleges like Iowa (Iowa State as well) that have an index based on your test scores, GPA, etc and you get in with a certain index, or schools that just have simple requirements to get in.</p>
<p>Arizona State University</p>
<p>[Freshman</a> Admission Requirements, Preferential Deadlines and Steps | University Student Initiatives](<a href=“http://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements]Freshman”>http://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements)</p>
<p>Oregon - 3.25 = automatically in.</p>
<p>Alabama - 900 + 3.0 = “competitive for admission”.</p>
<p>UT and Texas A&M have an automatic admission process for graduates of Texas high schools.</p>
<p>University of Oklahoma has a chart that shows what ACT/GPA are needed for automatic admission. Here’s the chart:
[Freshman</a> Admission Requirements: Undergraduate: Requirements: Admissions](<a href=“Freshman Admission”>Freshman Admission)</p>
<p>Iowa, Iowa State, and University of Northern Iowa all subscribe to the Regent’s Admissions Index. Pretty sure they do. Also, alot of automatic scholarships!</p>
<p>UC Davis spells their point system out quite plainly:</p>
<p>[UC</a> Davis: Admission Criteria](<a href=“http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_selection_process.cfm]UC”>Freshman Application Tips | UC Davis)</p>
<p>What they don’t make clear is how many points it takes to be admitted, since it varies by major.</p>
<p>So does UC San Diego. I think those are the two “formula” UCs. It’s enough to make a person want to be disadvantaged :)</p>
<p>UCLA and UC Berkeley do hollistic reviews where they read your entire application like most private colleges.</p>
<p>Wow, I can’t believe how many times Iowa was mentioned already!
Incase anyone wants to find out if they can get into an Iowa school:
Here is the calculator
[Admission</a> to Iowa’s Regent Universities: Regent Admission Index](<a href=“http://www2.state.ia.us/regents/rai/]Admission”>http://www2.state.ia.us/regents/rai/)
It is super easy, just enter things like gpa, class rank, and the number of core classes you have taken (science, english, foreign languages, history, etc.)
Iowa residents need a 245
OOS need 255 at U of Iowa, but I didn’t see anything about needing a higher score at Iowa State or Northern Iowa.</p>
<p>lol Iowa is pretty easy to get into then, my score was 339.</p>
