Admissio n o f freshmen to the Io wa Reg ent universities is based o n the Reg ent Admissio n Index (RAI) equatio n described

belo w. In additio n, applicants must meet the minimum hig h scho o l co urse requirements fo r the university they wish to enter. (2 x ACT co mpo site sco re) + (1 x percentile hig h scho o l rank) + (2 0 x hig h scho o l G PA) + (5 x number o f hig h scho o l co re co urses) Reg ent Admissio n Index Sco re

No te: Fo r purpo ses o f calculating the RAI, SAT sco res will be co nverted to ACT co mpo site equivalents, 9 9 % is the to p value fo r hig h scho o l rank, 4.0 0 is the to p value fo r G PA, and the number o f hig h scho o l co re co urses co mpleted is expressed in terms o f years o r fractio ns o f years (e.g ., o ne semester equals 0 .5 year). Applicants who do no t po ssess all required facto rs will be evaluated o n an individual basis by the Reg ent universities to which they apply.

Freshman applicants who achieve at least a 2 45 RAI sco re and who meet the minimum number o f hig h scho o l co urses required by the Reg ent universities will qualify fo r auto matic admissio n to any o f the three Reg ent universities. Freshman applicants who achieve less than a 2 45 RAI sco re may also be admitted to a specific Reg ent university; ho wever, each Reg ent university will review these applicatio ns o n an individual basis and the admissio n decisio n will be specific to each institutio n.
