Can I get into Michigan State University?

<p>I have a 3.25 GPA, and a 24 ACT (retake score pending). I have recommendations from teachers, a University of Michigan-Dearborn professor, and a few people in the Michigan House of Representatives. I have 100 volunteer hours. I am Captain of the Varsity Wrestling Team and on the JV Cross Country Team. I had an internship in the House of Representatives and an internship with the University of Michigan professor. I was on Student Council and received a Leadership Award, a Science Fair Honorable Mention, a Varsity Letter Award, and I am on the Honor Roll. I also have taken several honors courses and a very challenging college prep curriculm. I am also a michigan resident.</p>

<p>My scores have increased a bit so I am wondering how much my chances increase of getting in. The other schools I am applying to are:</p>

<p>University of Maryland College Park
University of Pittsburgh
Indiana University Bloomington
University of Minnesota Twin Cities</p>

<p>I plan on applying as early as possibly for all schools. My first choice is MSU but if you could chance me on the others I'd appreciate it.</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>I appreciate replies</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>It looks like you would be a match/low reach. I don't know how much MSU values ECs so that's based on your stats.</p>

<p>thanks can i get some more answers plz</p>

<p>Just write a really great essay that shows the admission committee that you have potential. They go through countless applications every day, so anything personal you can put into your personal statement can really set you apart from the masses of high gpas and test scores. I would know, because I've seen it first hand to friends who have low GPAs but are going to top universities next year because of their essays. Hope it helps.</p>
