I am a high school junior that will be taking the ACT and SAT very soon, and will be applying to colleges around the beginning of senior year. As of right now, I have a 2.86 unweighted GPA and a 3.7 weighted GPA. Assuming my scores on the ACT and SAT exams are average (I am not dumb, I am just not what you would call academically-superior), would I have a good chance of being admitted to either Texas Tech University or Texas State University? I have been in Navy JROTC all throughout freshman and some of sophomore year and earned a few leadership awards, including a medal for the Non-Commissioned Officer’s Association. I have also been in numerous clubs. I am Secretary for a small club at my school as well. I also MAY be joining the Army National Guard in a month or so, and would ship to Basic Combat Training over this summer and return to complete my senior year, while serving one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year.
Also, I have lived in Texas for almost all of my life. Thank you!
