Admissions FAQs

1. Where do I request information about admission to K-State?

Send e-mail to k-state@k-state.edu or call 785-532-6250 or 1-800-432-8270 (toll free).

2. How many times should I take the ACT?

Many students take the ACT more than once. Try to take it some time during the spring of your junior year, and maybe again during the summer between your junior and senior year. It’s best to have all your tests completed by October of your senior year. If you’re a senior and have not taken the ACT, take it as soon as possible.

3. What are the requirements for freshman admission?

New freshmen must meet any one of three criteria to be admitted to K-State. If you don’t meet these criteria, you may be admitted as an exception.

4. What is the lowest ACT score I can have to get admitted to K-State?

The minimum score is 21 on the ACT. But don’t panic if you don’t have a score of 21. You can still get into K-State if you are ranked in the top third of your senior class or have a 2.0 GPA (2.5 GPA for out-of-state students) in the Kansas pre-college curriculum.
