Yeah. And it's not even a joke.

http://www.apply4admissions.com/CDetails/Cinfo/Main/Section3/00006/Requirements.htm

Minimum composite ACT score of 22 (combined SAT I score of 1030R) and minimum 2.0 GPA in academic core courses required.

Entry requirements at USM and UA are virtually identical.

Please provide the next spin angle.

Its funny that some website called Apply4Admissions would know that, when UA doesn't even list a required GPA for enrollment. They review each admission application on a case by case basis I think. Yeah, if I'm dumb enough to have a 2.0 GPA something tells me I am not scoring a 22 on the ACT. Just a guess.......

What is the minimum requirement at AU?

I wouldn't bet on this either. I did nothing in high school except play sports and fuck off and barely had over a 2.0 and scored a 27. Next.

Some kids are actually smart enough to do well on the ACT and just don't give a shit or goof off to much to do good on thier classroom work. Just sayin.

EDIT: NM, Sani just proved this point.

2.5? Odd, AU doesn't give a GPA required on their admissions site either. Like the UA site, it says the applications will be considered on a case by case basis. So, how does this website know what the admission standards are at two schools who don't even give it on their own websites?

I couldn't begin to tell you. I was just using the same measuring stick that was cited for SPUAT. I imagine the site is run by a bunch of AU grads who print all that misinformation just to screw with prospective SPUAT students.

You'd need a slide ruler and a box of chocolates to figure it out...

If it wasn't for connections and baseball, I'd have never been a student at AU. Of course, this was many moons ago and requirements have changed.

So how far up your ass did the Dean of Admissions ram that Louisville Slugger?

Even if we used this information, hypothetically, if West had a 2.0 GPA and a 18 on the ACT, he still would not get in to UA, according to that site. And as I have already stated, I question the validity of that site's information when the schools themselves don't even post that.

A guy I know who played for Foley wanted to get into AU and try to walk-on and they wouldn't let him with a 2.6 and I think an 18 on the ACT. He ended up at Troy and still couldn't walk-on there, but it was due to his lack of skill.

It wasn't too bad. He used the handle end first.

My grades were okay but my ACT was far less than the tits. I was and average to suck level pitcher with a rag arm. My dad was a scholly contributor along with his good friend and they set it up to get me in if I walked on. Coach Nix called me and asked me to walk on and shit. I was all pumped about playing baseball for Auburn until I was at the end of Fall practice and realized all I had done since the day I set foot on the field.....was run.....and run....and run...and run.

Oh yeah, I did get to throw a few innings in a scrimmage and got hit in the chest with a line drive from the clean up hitter. Good times.

I took up volleyball after that.

I'd prefer that the ending of this story be:

"I took up anally pounding professional beach volleyball players named Misty May."

I did pound one girl on the women's volleyball team. Not anally.

It wasn't for lack of trying, though.

Back to the Gerald West story....I think it depends on if the $abanator wants him to qualify or not, since he lost his qualifying guys to Clemson and Tennessee, I think that has put a little kink in the qualifying staff.

Yeah, the only guys that qualify to go to UA only qualify because we cheat. You really are sad....

This coming from the bammer that lurks on AU boards all day and argues with anything that we say. Hook, line and sinker.
