Every school has an admissions office that screens all applicants.

Sometimes, the admissions guidelines are straightforward: looking for certain GPA thresholds and standardized test scores. Meet them, and you’re in; fall short, and you’re not.

Some admissions counselors will take other factors into account as well – for example, if the scores are low, but not too low, and extra-curricular activities are strong, they might admit the student anyway.

Sometimes other factors come into play, too. For example, if one particular program has too many applicants in a given year (or too few), the admissions requirements might be made more stringent (or more relaxed).

Schools with higher rankings aren’t necessarily harder to get into. A lot of it depends on the number of applicants, and the particular programs. Plus, these schools aren’t ranked by admissions requirements alone.

You could probably call the admissions office at ISU and ask an admissions counselor, particularly if you tell them you are interested in reapplying next year, so you want to know why you fell short this year. If you are polite and not confrontational, I’m guessing they would be glad to answer your question.
