Is an essay question required for admission? If so, is there one specific one or can you pick from a list?

    Is it possible to be accepted into the Cronkite School if your GPA is a little under 3.0? My SAT scores are WELL over the requirement of 1040. I'd figure that high test scores would make up for a GPA that's a little under the listed requirement.

      great question, unfortunately no, the GPA is a requirement. But you are welcome to appeal to Cronkite to admit you. Otherwise you can enter Cronkite after your first semester if you maintain above a 3.0 at ASU.
