UPDATE!!!

Iowa's three public universities ( Iowa State Univeristy, Univeristy of Northern Iowa, and University of Iowa) have announced a change in their admission requirements for freshmen applicants who wish to enroll beginning in the Fall 2009 and beyond.  While each university will maintain their minimum high school course requirements for admissions, their traditional upper-half class rank requirement will be replaced by the Regent Admission Index (RAI).
The universities will compute an RAI score for each applicant that will be based on the student's high school grade point average, percentile class rank, ACT or SAT scores, and the number of years of core courses the student will complete in grades 9-12.  Detailed information concerning the new admission requirements may be found online at www.2state.ia.us/regents/RAI/index.html.
