In addition, applicants must meet the minimum high school course requirements for the university they wish to enter.(2 x ACT composite score)+ (1 x percentile high school rank)+ (20 x high school GPA)+ (5 x number of years of high school core courses)Regent Admission IndexFreshman applicants from Iowa high schools who achieve at least a 245 RAI score and who meet the minimum number of high school courses required by the Regent universities will qualify for automatic admission to any of the three Regent universities. Freshman applicants who achieve less than a 245 RAI score may also be admitted to a specific Regent university; however, each Regent university will review these applications on an individual basis and the admission decision will be specific to each institution.
