Admissions chances for getting into to Indiana and Michigan State with a suspension

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hey Guys, I am new to this thing!!

I am a rising senior from a prominent High School in the Chicago land region

My ACT score is 25, my gpa is a 3.23 weighted, I am the captain of my school debate team, have done volunteer works, have participated in cultural club meetings, and am currently in the process of starting my own club.

However I have a suspension from my Sophomore year for Racial/Ethnic Bullying (that year was bad in grades as well)

I am worried about not getting into these schools because of my awful misconduct in the past,

what should I do?

Your ACT and GPA will likely keep you out of Indiana University.

3

I’ve taken a load of AP and have excelled in them, and have shown a large peak in academic trend the past year. Also I am applying to LAS not buisness. Will that still keep me out?

You may have taken AP classes but with a 3.23 WGPA you did not do well. IU would be a reach at best.

5

Mich State’s admissions standards are higher than IU’s. Even of in-state MI resident, an applicant with that GPA and ACT wouldn’t be admitted.

6

The scatterplots at collegeapps.about.com seem to show that there are some students accepted with that profile, but perhaps they were attractive for other reasons.

7

They likely had a hook.

I mean those kids with GPA and ACT scores like you had a hook. If anything with that gross misconduct and suspension you will look much less attractive. You’re only chance is to write a compelling statement about your suspension and convince colleges that you are a changed person.
