3.2 Cumulative GPA and Getting into American?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I was wondering what you thought my chances were at getting into American University. It's one of my top three universities (Mercyhurst and Florida International Universities being the other two) that I would like to get into. Here's my profile:</p>

<p>-Cumulative GPA of a 3.2
-Freshman GPA: 3.6
-Sophomore GPA: 3.5
-Junior GPA: 2.0 (I was dealing with depression, but I know it's not an excuse)</p>

<p>-One Honors Class and One AP class</p>

<p>-Four on my APUSH exam</p>

<p>-US Naval Sea Cadet</p>

<p>-Varsity Debate</p>

<p>-FIRST Robotics</p>

<p>-Pirate Code (coming up with incentives to get students to follow school rules)</p>

<p>-ACT: 30</p>

<p>-Got a state award for an article I wrote in my school's newspaper</p>

<p>-History student of the year </p>

<p>Do I have a good chance at getting in?</p>

<p>American: High match</p>

<p>Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to answer!</p>

4

<p>High match… Maybe include a supplement explaining the junior grades?</p>

5

<p>Is that weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>I would say low reach. That GPA hurts and your ECs don’t really make up for it. If you had a 32+ I would say match. </p>

<p>Advice: take the ACT 1-2 more times and even the SAT. Then write a really good essay.</p>
