Abstract | Results of a 1984 survey of statewide college admission standards are presented, based on responses from state higher education executive officers and college officials. Profiles for each state cover: the number and types of public institutions, who sets admission standards, current admission standards for in-state students, special admission policies, anticipated changes, and published information. Nearly one-half of the states have minimum admission requirements for public institutions. Nine states have an open admission policy, while 13 states require entering freshmen to meet a test score, minimum grade point average (GPA), class rank, and/or other performance standard. Nine states require or recommend a prescribed pattern of high school course work. Eleven states allow their colleges to impose additional admission requirements. A majority of the colleges in only one-half of these states, however, chose to raise performance standards. Sixteen states have recently enacted, or are proposing, more stringent admission policies. In every case, these changes include high school course-work requirements. Over half of the states do not have statewide admission policies. In most cases, a combination of class rank or minimum GPA and college entrance test scores was used to screen applicants. (SW) |
