calculated for each applicant, based on the following equation:
RAI = (2 x ACT composite score) +

average) + (5 x number of high school courses
completed in the core subject areas)
*Students must have a score of 245 or higher for admission
RAI FOR “TYPICAL STUDENT”
ACT score = 24 X 2 = 48 HS Rank = 75% = 75 HSGPA = 3.5 X 20 = 70 Number of core courses completed = 18 X 5
