Teacher recs?

<p>My friend is applying as an undergrad at ASU and has comparably low stats…
3.0 GPA
1810 SAT
24 ACT taken again</p>

<p>is it beneficial for him to send in some teacher recommendations even though he matches the criteria for admissions already?
Should he send in a teacher rec if he is applying as a business major or engineering major. So far he has asked his poli econ teacher, alg 2 and AP stats teacher and english teacher. He is planning on sending the poli econ and stats recommendation.</p>

<p>Will this help his chances substantially?</p>

<p>ASU will let him in if he meets the minimum requirements. Based on <a href=“https://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements[/url]”>https://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements&lt;/a&gt; he does, so he should be absolutely fine.</p>

<p>ASU doesn’t use recommendation letters for freshman admission at all, so he is wasting his time. W.P. Carey nor Ira A. Fulton consider recommendation letters either.</p>

<p>He doesn’t meet minimum requirements to be accepted to either the business program or the engineering program. He can apply to ASU as an undecided and then apply to either program after a semester.</p>

<p>How does he not meet minimum req.s he has an ACT of 24!!?!?</p>

<p>ACT of 24 isn’t actually that good… Though oxolojo is incorrect in saying he does not meet the minimum for engineering, as it is 24, seen here: <a href=“http://engineering.asu.edu/adreqs/ASUEngineeringAdReqs2012-13.pdf[/url]”>http://engineering.asu.edu/adreqs/ASUEngineeringAdReqs2012-13.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
For business, however, an applicant needs an ACT of 25: [Freshman</a> Admissions - Undergraduate - W. P. Carey School of Business](<a href=“http://wpcarey.asu.edu/undergraduate/college-admissions/freshman.cfm]Freshman”>http://wpcarey.asu.edu/undergraduate/college-admissions/freshman.cfm)
He should just apply undecided though. Everyone gets in then.</p>
