Any suggestions???
GPA is 2/3rds of decision with SAT or ACT counting as 1/3rd. Your GPA is wonderful. Your test score, however, is very low for UP by at least 100 points; however, the College of Comm isn’t overly competitive compared to business, nursing or engineering. You may do better to apply straight to College of Comm but put down a summer start date as a backup. DUS has become very competitive in the past few years as high stat kids get nervous they may not get into business or engineering and so they opt to take the safe route and apply DUS. If you don’t get into Comm, justcall back and ask to be reconsidered for DUS.
Another way to do it is to apply liberal arts and then switch. Liberal arts is quite easy to get into. DUS has recently upped there requirements.
