University of Kansas, which accepts over 90% of applicants, has a slightly selective admissions process. If your SAT/ACT scores and GPA fall within the school's average ranges, you have a strong chance of being accepted.

Note that certain programs at KU are more selective and have higher admissions standards.
In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. The majority of students who got in had high school GPAs of "B-" or higher, SAT scores (ERW+M) of 1000 or higher, and ACT composite scores of 20 or higher. Higher numbers significantly improve your chances of acceptance.
