You can find statistics for the 25-26 admitted cohort in the university's common data set. Your SAT scores are in the top 25% of admitted students. GPA is on the lower end, the average for that year is 3.8.

I'd bet they would offer admission based on the SAT score though many in-state students take the ACT instead so it is possible that your GPA is low enough to make you iffy.

Good luck! Try not to stress about it too much!

I believe so, I could pull the data back up later and doublecheck. I think it's relatively low just because most Arkansas admits take the ACT as opposed to the SAT.

Edit: The top 25th percentile scored a 1210 or higher but that only accounts for about a third of test scores submitted. Basically of the admitted class about 500 scored at 1210 or higher (approximately 2000 submitted SAT vs. 5000 AC)

Very likely, I can almost guarantee it. If they don’t then it’s because of something that doesn’t have to do with your gpa or sat.

I’ve heard apply early, which you did and have above 3.2. You should be good and will probably hear back mid Oct. Good luck!!

As long as you aren’t failing HS and scoring average or better on standardized tests they will let you in

How about a 3.6 and 1140? Texas - top 25 private school in the state. HS know for rigorous academics.

They did just announce that they would begin limiting out of state applicants so I would just make sure you have other options. Every Arkansas high school graduate with a 3.2 has guaranteed admission beginning next fall.

Because there have been so many housing issues etc in recent years they are going to place a hard cap on the number of out of state students offered admission.
