Yes, that's true! Instead of taking the time and trouble to ask your high school to send us an official copy of your transcript, you can simply self-report your GPA, ACT or SAT scores, and core course preparation on your application, and your admission to Iowa State will be based upon this self-reported academic information.

Special Policy for Summer/Fall 2021 Applicants: If the cancellation of testing dates has prevented you from being able to take the ACT or SAT, you should leave blank the section of the application where your test scores are self-reported, and you will be considered for admission based upon a holistic review of your academic records. If you are admitted to Iowa State without your test scores, please know you will be expected to submit your ACT or SAT scores prior to enrollment.
