What you need to get into Hope International University
Aim to land inside or above the middle 50% range. A SAT around 1220 or an ACT around puts you in the top quarter of admitted students and makes Hope International University a stronger bet. Below 840, you are below the typical admit and the rest of your application, essays, rigor, and activities, has to carry more of the decision.
Is Hope International University a reach, target, or safety for you?
Run your numbers through the calculator above and it will tell you. As a rule: if your stats sit above Hope International University's range and it is not highly selective, it is a safety. If you are in range, it is a target. If you are below range, or the school admits fewer than one in four applicants, it is a reach for almost everyone. A smart college list balances all three, so pair Hope International University with schools in each tier.
