Boise State University Admissions
Boise State uses and admissions index to determine if students in particular classifications (high school graduates under the age of 21, for example) meet its admissions requirements. The admissions index is a complex matrix that analyzes applicants’ GPA in regards to their SAT or ACT scores. For example, an applicant classified as “Excellent for Admission” could have a GPA of only 2.25 but an SAT score of 1520 or an ACT score of 34. By the same token, a candidate classified as “Possible” may have a GPA of 3.00 but an SAT score of only 870 or an ACT score of only 18. The full matrix is available for viewing at the Boise State website.
Even students who do not meet the requirements put forth in the admissions index may still be admitted to Boise State under provisional status. This special arrangement requires that students earn 14 credits in specific courses over 3 semesters and earn a grade of “C” or better overall in order to continue their studies. The core courses include fundamental areas such as English and Mathematics.
Applications to the undergraduate programs are accepted through the summer prior to the fall semester, with an application fee of $30. In addition to the application form and fee, students must provide transcripts and test scores. Undergraduate students must have completed in high school eight semesters of English, six semesters of mathematics, six semesters of natural science, five semesters of social science, two semesters in humanities or foreign languages, and three semesters in other college preparatory courses. Applications can be submitted on-line.
Graduate students must provide the following for admissions to the graduate school: an application with fee, transcripts, and exams, letters of recommendation, and other materials required by the program to which one is applying. A graduate application has an application fee of $55.
