<p>Hi. I'm going to be a senior this year. I have a weighted gpa of 3.3 and 2.7 or 2.8 unweighted. My ACT score is 24 and I'm planning on retaking it. I've taken a lot of ap/honors classes and am getting the highest honor diploma my school offers. I had a rough freshman & sophomore year but I have improved a lot. I'm very worried I won't get accepted anywhere. I'm planning on applying to Depaul, IU, Purdue, Ball State. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on my chances of getting into those schools or maybe suggestions of other schools that I should apply to that I'd have a better chance of being accepted. Thanks!</p>

<p>While your GPA will hurt you in some cases, an upward trend will help.</p>
<p>Keep the GPA in upward trend, practice and study for the ACT - a 24 is a good start, and you can definately improve that score by putting the time into the studying and time component of the test - try The Real Act book - you should be fine.</p>
