I know I’m not a genius like everyone else here, but will I get into minnesota or not?
ACT: 29
UW GPA: 3.5
W GPA: 3.7
Got a 4 on AP Bio, Psych, and Geo, taking AP Lit and Micro next year
Hard class load, 7 varsity letters, job, blah blah blah we all know only gpa and act matters.
Are you in-state or OOS? Also, which college/program at UMN are you applying to?
Update: I got in.
I applied september 1st, found out I got accepted today, October 5th. Maybe got in a while ago I don’t know. Still super surprised I got in, and so early at that. Applied to liberal arts cuz its easier to get into.
I’m saying this so people have an understanding of admissions chances. I had a 29 ACT, 4 on Ap bio, human geo, and psych, and a 3.48 unweighted. Will have 7 varsity letters, no other interesting extracurriculars at all. I’m even at grade level math. White male, high income etc. Not that much going for me really.
Maybe my school being 3rd in wisconsin for public school ACT helped me, idk.
My point is, don’t stress out. If I can get in with .3 below average gpa, you can to.
@ed5060 Congrats! Your ACT was fine for CLA and course rigor is very important. Good luck to you!
