The most important consideration for determining eligibility for freshman admissions at Augusta University is the Freshman IndexFI. The FI is determined by the following formula(s):
Applicants who achieve at least a 2240 FI score and who meet the minimum high school course requirements and test score requirements will automatically be offered admission. Applicants who achieve less than a 2240 FI score and who meet the minimum high school course requirements may also be offered admission through Jaguar Jumpstart, but their applications will be reviewed on an individual basis.
Per the guidelines provided by the University System of Georgia, when calculating
the Freshman Index, Augusta University will convert new SAT scores to the equivalent
old SAT Score. The equivalent old SAT scores will be used in calculating the Freshman
Index for admission consideration.
You can reference the new concordance tables online.
