<p>I have stellar letters of recommendations.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>Thank you for reading this, I really do appreciate your comments/suggestions. If you have any other colleges you might suggest for this type of "statistics", let me know.</p>
<p>I will be reporting the weighted statistics via Common Application. Is that a problem?</p>
<p>So long as you can bump your SAT up to ~1900, I think you have a very good shot. I’m a freshman now. I got in with a 3.44 GPA (at time of application, 3.37 at the end of senior year) and 2060 SATs. I think you have a very good shot.</p>
<p>Thanks. Anymore chances? I just interviewed and I think it went very well. I’ve also kept in contact with the admissions director, which shows how interested I am in this college.</p>
<p>Argh! I was extremely ill on the day of the SATs and was sneezing all over the test! My score was a 1710, a 20 point drop from my original! I am taking the ACT again this Saturday and plan to do better than I did before. A 27 on the ACT is in the 25% quartile, so I still think I can be considered for admission. My interview went well (or so I think)! </p>
<p>In regards to a question I received privately: my high school is in the top 200 Public Schools in the United States and is extremely competitive in my state (Minnesota). Sadly, numerous students take extremely easy courses, leading to a major shift in class ranking (making me the top 30%).</p>
<p>generally they let one of the metrics (class rank/test scores) slide if you’re in range for the other ED. but you’re below on both and not a recruited athlete. i would expect waitlist unless you bring ACT over 28.</p>
<p>If you can retake your SATs again, focus on bringing up a specific area of your testing. If you’re better at math, try to bump up your math score. Better at writing / critical reading? Work hardest on those sections. Remember, you can SuperScore.</p>
