Hello! I’m interested in applying to UM and I’m just curious about what my odds are.

ACT: Cumulative 26. Reading–35. English–32. Math --17. Science–20. I know the discrepancy is ridiculous. I’m retaking w a math and science tutor.

GPA (unweighted): 3.85 with many advanced and a handful of AP classes.
(1.5 credits of advanced social studies, AP Gov, .5 credits of advanced science, AP Literature, AP Language and composition, 2.5 credits of advanced English, standard math all 4 years)

Extra curriculars/outside of school/other:

  1. Executive of my leadership club and team captain of my leadership team (captain 2 years and executive 1)
  2. National Honor Society Member (2 years)
  3. Senior Government Rep (elected by class of 600)
  4. President of AFS
  5. Over 100 hours of volunteerism per year
  6. Summer camp counselor at an overnight summer camp
  7. Student council member

Thank you!

If you go onto UMN’s website you will see the statistics for what they average in their colleges. (Academic profile is what it’s called) If you’re wondering if you would get into the human development college I don’t think you should have a problem. You have strong classes and a great gpa and the average range is like 23-28 so you’re right in the range for sure. Best of luck!

My son got in CEHD with a 3.65 CUM GPA (they don’t unweight at his school so this is weighted) and 30 ACT. AP Stats, AP Calc, AP Psych, AP Human Geo, IB Lit, IB Lang. In his 2nd year as Business/Marketing in CEHD and enjoying it very much. He initially wanted Carlson but was rejected which I think was a good thing, CEHD is a much better fit for him. He would have hated Carlson honestly. And he did NOT find out until the end of January.

Good luck!
