What is RAI?
What Does This Index Mean?
The Regent Admission Index combines factors that strongly predict success at regent universities: ACT or SAT test score, high school rank, high school cumulative grade-point average, and the number of completed high school core courses.
There are two RAI formulas for computing students’ RAI scores, the Primary RAI formula (for students whose high schools provide class rank) and the Alternative RAI formula (for students whose high schools do not provide class rank).
Iowa high school graduates must achieve a Regent Admission Index (RAI) score of at least 245 and take the minimum number of required high school courses to qualify for automatic admission as freshmen to Iowa State University, the University of Northern Iowa, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Iowa. Students who achieve a score less than 245 will be considered for admission on an individual basis.
