<p>I’ll just get to the facts:
ACT Composite: 32
Math 36
English 32
Reading 29
Science 32</p>
<p>SAT: 1260
Math: 700
English: 560</p>
<p>High School GPA:
3.93 Weighted
3.46 Unweighted</p>
<p>College GPA
Rising junior, 3.33 as a finance major at the University of Illinois U-C</p>
<p>High School extracurriculars:
A little bit of everything, only sport was track and field. No leaderships though but was on the student government. </p>
<p>College extracurriculars:
A lot more involved, quite a few leadership positions in clubs and my fraternity.</p>
<p>Job:
Manager at a restaurant.
Also a couple volunteering things I’ve done in the past.</p>
<p>Long story short, I’ve always wanted to go to the AFA but due to family issues couldn’t even apply but since I’m starting to really dislike college at a big university I want to give it a shot.</p>
<p>Age limit? If you are a rising junior that means you will be 21 this year, correct? Im guessing you are going for class of 2013, so won't you be over the age limit?</p>
<p>IIRC, you only have to enter before your 23rd birthday, so you should be fine in that regard.</p>
<p>ACTs are good, SAT math is good. Any idea why there's such a large discrepancy in English between the SAT and the ACT? I'm not exactly sure what GPAs tend to be like at most schools, but a 3.33 here is very good. Some ECs, some work experience - I'd say you're definitely in the mix. Keep working hard, keep the grades up, and good luck.</p>
<p>no real explanation to the discrepancy, I just thought the particular SAT I took was a bit tougher and with the penalties and stuff...IMO College board=anti-Christ. i wouldn't have listed it in my pre-application but i figured they wanted all the information they could get and would be a little skeptical if i didn't tell them right away like i was hiding something. also I only just turned 20 (yea a bit young for my age group) and yes it also said you have to be at most 23 when you enter.</p>
<p>The board takes the highest of either SAT or ACT, in your case the ACT, and seeing as the Math is a 36 (max), and your composite is above th.eir avg, you are sitting pretty good in that area.</p>
<p>Now work on your CFA.</p>
<p>thanks a lot everyone, also CFA? sorry i only know some of the acronyms</p>
