In-state or out-of-state?

in state

The best thing you can do at this point is to get your standardized test scores up, although it wouldn’t hurt for you to raise your GPA a bit also. By way of comparison, our in-state high school has an average of 28 ACT and 3.75 weighted GPA for admitted students at UTK.

Taking a preparatory class for the ACT should be helpful (especially if you can take practice exams as part of the test prep). I would also try to meet with your guidance counselor early in the Fall Semester (and you might have to really make an effort to do so), and discuss admissions strategies for UTK.

Good luck!
