New Regent Admission Requirements

Starting Fall 2009

  

Iowa’s Regent Universities, Iowa, Iowa State, and UNI, announced this past spring that they will be using a new method of admitting students to their schools beginning in the fall of 2009. All three universities will be using a calculated RAI (Regent Admissions Index) score, in addition to their regular course requirements in the core areas, to determine admission status for all students applying for admission for fall 2009.  The RAI index score is calculated by following this formula:

 

 

ACT composite score X 2

+         

High school rank expressed as a percentile

score (i.e. 80%ile)

+         

High school GPA X 20

+         

Number of high school courses completed in core subject areas(math, English, social studies, and science).

 

 

=          Regent Admission Index Score

 

 

A “web calculator” that can be used to help calculate a students RAI index score can be found at http: http://www2.state.ia.us/regents/rai/. If you are a junior and considering attending one of the “big three” state schools in Iowa, you should be looking into your RAI score now to determine where you stand.
