<p>I've dreamed of attending OU as a fall 2013 student for a while now. However, my GPA is beginning to make a pessimist out of me. It currently sits at about a 2.88 (unweighted). My first round of SAT scores came back as a total of 1510, however I've studied extensively and hope to raise it to at least a 1700 (my math score is the only score bringing me down, my other two are both a bit over average).
Despite my low grades, I am a very involved student and hope that this will help me stand out to application officers. I am Editor-at-Large of my school's award winning yearbook (Editor-at-Large is the second highest position one can hold). I am involved in my school's DECA team and have become a state finalist. I am a top merit point earner in my school's student council. And I have also been involved in the theater department for all four years of school. I have community service experience and also hold a part time job.</p>
<p>So with all of that in mind, plus my 2.8 GPA, and if I were to get a 1700 on my SAT, what do you think my chances of getting accepted to OU are?</p>
<p>3% of entering freshmen had GPAs of 2.99 or lower. Look at the SAT percentile ranges, and see where you fall. Note that extracurriculars are not considered in admissions.</p>
<p>Also, it’s the University of Oklahoma, even though it’s abbreviated OU.</p>
<p>Once you’ve got 24 hours of college credit, I don’t believe OU looks at your high school transcript or standardized test scores. All they care about at that point is your college transcript. [Transfer</a> Admissions Requirements - Admissions - The University of Oklahoma](<a href=“http://www.ou.edu/content/admissions/home/requirements/undergraduate/transfer_admission.html]Transfer”>http://www.ou.edu/content/admissions/home/requirements/undergraduate/transfer_admission.html) says you’d likely need a 2.50 GPA for all your attempted college hours. (And if you can’t manage a 2.5 at community college or a directional, OU will eat your lunch. I took a summer course at community college, and about half the other students in it were OU / OSU students retaking the class to get a higher grade.)</p>
