A Few Questions (if you can answer any one of them it would be helpful)

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Minnesota

<p>First:</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are for the honors program at CLA? My highest grade on the ACT was a 28 (30 if super-scored), when I sent in my application, my unweighted GPA was 3.63 and my weighted was 3.84, I was top tenth in my class, had a huge increasing trend, took undergrad courses at UChicago, and had decent EC's by UMinn standards.</p>

<p>Second:</p>

<p>I got my application in on December 17th (not sure when they recieved it). So, if I sent my midyear report in now, I doubt it would get there before they mail decisions. Can I be admitted to the honors program after they made their decision? If so, what do you think my chances are if my midyear report brings my weighted GPA to a 4.0?</p>

<p>Third:</p>

<p>UMinn (CLA) with honors v. Reed College, UMinn without honors v. Reed College. I'm not sure if I got into Reed yet; but if I did, it will be hard for me to make a decision. Money is somewhat important, and I've heard mixed things about financial aid at Reed. Because this decision is essentially based on my career goals, it's important to mention that I would like to run for a political office.</p>

<p>I cant really help you with any of your questions. But let me tell you that if you someday run for president I will vote for you if you make college free for all...for the sake of our children you know. :p</p>

<p>Haha, I'll keep that in mind.</p>

</p>

<p>That happened last year, and I expect it to happen this year. Therefore you may as well send in updated information as soon as you have it. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Do you want to run for office in Minnesota or in Oregon?</p>

<p>Ah, that's a good point. I actually tend to be more conservative, so maybe Oregon wouldn't be the best place to run for office. Thanks for answering.</p>

<p>To elaborate more on my financial situation, I plan on attending a more expensive grad school.</p>
