Intended major? In state or out?

3

intended major is molecular bio and out of state

4

I think for a stem major from out of state it’s going to be a reach.

5

GPA could make Out of state a challenge. College of Science new students averaged 3.74 in Fall 2019, last available.

I wouldn’t put the SAT bar that high. 2019 average was 1381. It climbed 50 points over 2 years, but I’d certainly submit anything over 1420, maybe down to 1400.
