<p>Hello, I'm curious, can the U of Colorado be a safety for me with it's 81.5% acceptance rate?</p>

<p>here are the stats:</p>

<p>ACT: 31</p>

<p>AP's: Span- 5 Eng- 4 US History- 3</p>

<p>GPA:3.38</p>

<p>ECs listed on app: football, track, was in 2 clubs, and work; and tons of Comm. Service and will write about this in essays</p>

<p>Job/Work Experience: did finances that were really receipts at a family friend's company and also had a job there too</p>

<p>Essays (subject and responses): already started so they should be very good- on two hardships that have come down on me the last 2 years, and my dealing w/ them.</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: better than great</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: great</p>

<p>School Type: Private, does not rank</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic hopefully this helps a lot</p>

<p>Gender:M</p>

<p>Also: Took 3 summer courses at a local comm. college</p>

<p>thanks a lot</p>

<p>Your ACT score is well above their average for the fall class, but your GPA is below what the kids have in all of the different colleges (Art & Sciences, etc.), so I don't believe you can call it a safety. Close call, though. Good luck in your application process.</p>
