<p>Thanks for all your comments</p>
<p>Keep those grades up and do a lot better on the ACT.</p>
<p>Agree. Maintain similar grades and get a 29 or above on the ACT and I’d give you a good chance.</p>
<p>Getting a 29 on the ACT only gives him only a “good” chance??? I don’t know about that. I just got accepted today with identical stats compared to the person who started the thread. Same ACT, grades, etc and I got in and it only took about 2 weeks to hear back. I think you have a very good chance.</p>
<p>Consider yourself fortunate, uminngophs, for the majority of applicants with your stats would not be admitted.</p>
<p>OP, your challenging classes next year will look good provided you continue to get similar grades. I, too, would recommend you try for a higher ACT score. You might also consider taking the SAT – some people tend to do better on it.</p>
<p>I’d say you have a fairly good chance if you retake the ACT.</p>
<p>I was just admitted to Madison yesterday, and I have a 3.7 GPA weighted and 28 on the ACT. I also was heavily involved in ECs like you.</p>
