I applied to two colleges
First choice: College of Education and Human Development (Undeclared)
Second Choice: College of Liberal Arts
Rundown of my stats (Yes I know they are not normal CC stats)
GPA: 3.97
I don’t have any AP classes but that’s because I’m doing a dual enrollment program called running start where I go to a college full time both for high school graduation and for my AA degree (which I will get before I graduate high school) Also I have taken hard classes like Calculus and engineering physics and I have a 3.95 college GPA
ACT: 27 Composite E: 31 M: 28 R: 23 S: 26
I am a senior this year so I am super worried about colleges

I’m going to call you almost certainly a lock. The only small question mark to my eye is “Why undeclared?”
Going for DE hard enough to finish with an associate’s, but not having at least some direction in mind does raise an eyebrow slightly.
But your test scores are right in the mean, your grades are exceptional, and the curriculum (I’m assuming your CC courses were in your application) will shine.
You didn’t say if you were in-state or out, but I’m assuming in-state. If so, and you will have your AA degree, check the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. You will have all your liberal education requirements filled and can get right into your area of focus.
SKI U MAH!
I’m from Seattle
Also I know the UMN is looking for diversity, so if it helps I am an Israeli citizen.
Then definitely a lock. We like bringing in OOS’ers/foreign nationals. Good luck with the transfer credits- they are not always clean, though coming in with an AA should make things a little smoother.

@TomS31415 I think you have a great chance! Good luck, I’ve applied as well to the CEHD!
