<p>3.65GPA
25ACT (20 reading 30 science 24 English 8 writing 27 math) but I'm retaking it. And will be taking sat ii's this November </p>

<p>I've had a summer job every summer since 9th grade and have held it through the school year.</p>

<p>I have spoken to the track coach and he said all admission decisions are based on me and sports aren't particularly important for getting in</p>

<p>Being a URM helps, but you need to raise that ACT a good 4 points (at least) to be competitive.</p>

<p>Stupid question but what’s a urm? And yes I’m shooting for alot higher this October. I’ve been studying alot</p>

<p>urm = under-represented minority </p>

<p>(there’s also orm = over- …) :-)</p>

<p>Even with advantage of URM and gender, your ACT score is too low. If you get it up to a 30+ then I would say you have a good- very good chance.</p>
