Overall score: 39
To enroll at Colorado’s largest public research university, you’ll need a composite ACT score between 24 and 29, but even lower than that should do. GPA between 3.35 and 3.57 guarantees the spot (if you fulfill other requirements), and admittance rate of 87.7% offers a break to everyone with SAT scores barely over 1,000. It ranks 114th on Forbes list, but on our list of 11 easiest big colleges to get into, the University of Colorado in Boulder ranks number 1.
