Academic Factors:

Admission to BYU–Idaho for new freshmen is based 40% on academic factors. These factors include:

ACT or SAT scores

Cumulative un-weighted high school grade point average (GPA)

AP or IB classes

GED or COMPASS scores (*required of students from home, private, or charter school programs in place of the high school GPA)

Testing Requirements and Academic Minimums

New freshmen and transfer students with less than 30 credits completed by the application deadline must take the ACT or SAT.

Since students often improve after taking the ACT or SAT a second time, we encourage students to test more than once. Mid-junior year of high school is a good time to begin testing. To learn more about the ACT or SAT tests or to sign up, please visit www.act.org or www.sat.org. BYU–Idaho will use the highest score submitted prior to the application deadline.
