Do I qualify for admission to Missouri State?
Meet the requirements in the scale below to be eligible for enrollment.
- Step 1: Using your class-rank percentile and grade point average, determine which will place
you higher on this scale.
- For example, if your class rank percentile is 40 and your GPA is 2.90, you would use the line based on your GPA.
- If your school does not rank, your GPA will be used to determine your eligibility. If your school provides both a weighted and an unweighted GPA, the highest will be used to determine your eligibility for admission.
- Step 2: Follow the line you identified in Step 1 across the scale to determine the minimum ACT or SAT score you must have.
- Using the same example from Step 1, a student with a class-rank percentile of 40 and a GPA of 2.90 would need either an ACT composite or superscore of 21 or higher or an SAT total or superscore of 1060 or higher.
| Class rank percentile | or | GPA on a 4.00 scale | and | ACT composite or superscore | or | SAT total* or superscore |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 56 or above | 3.00 or above | Test score optional | Test score optional | |||
| 48 to 55 | 2.85 to 2.99 | 21 | 1060 | |||
| 40 to 47 | 2.63 to 2.84 | 22 | 1100 | |||
| 34 to 39 | 2.50 to 2.62 | 23 | 1130 | |||
| Below 34 | Below 2.50 | Not admissible |
