<p>I am currently a high school senior and my GPA is a 3.2 on a 5.0 scale. I got a 1640 on my SAT's and a 25 on my ACT's. I'm taking a lot of honors classes this year. My grades continuously got better throughout my junior year and I am keeping my grades up this year as well. What are my chances of getting accepted to UConn? I love the school so hopefully I have a chance.</p>
<p>sammm123,</p>
<p>Respectfully your SAT score will need to go way up. My son got in after being waitlisted and accepted to U of Maryland, Villanova, PENN St. college of Eng. UCONN was to be his safe school. As a bar maybe some of his stats will help you.</p>
<p>SAT - 1840
GPA - 3.65
Top 15% of his class
Varsity lettered 8 times
Team captain
Recieved several other athletic awards</p>
<p>This is only a baseline. Here is what I know but only to be taken with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>The acceptance to U of Maryland and Villanova were a surprise yet welcome. UCONN was his No.1 and we were as I said very surprised to see him get waitlisted. It would have been more understandable if Vil & UM waitlisted him. If you look at the expectations of Vil & Maryland you will understand. There is no telling what these schools are looking for. You may very well get in with what you have. It pained us as parents to see our son not know what to do next. Thankfully he came off waitlist and got in.</p>
<p>As a parent I say this: Never give up on what you want. If you do not get in, that’s okay… Don’t stop…go to a college that opens their door to you, take the classes and knock the grades out of the park. If you feel you want to transfer for your 2nd. year apply again. </p>
<p>If you have the time to re-take the SAT get it done but before you do review some helpful hints on how to approach the test. My 2nd son was at a 1800 before a review and after the review and a pre-test he added 150 to the score. He has been preping again because of where he wants to get in. </p>
<p>If you want UCONN bad enough put in the time and prep. </p>
<p>Good luck & rem. in the end it’s not the school you go to it’s what you put into your education and how you add that value to your family, community, and place of employment yet to come.</p>
<p>You’ve probably seen something like this before.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, because UConn receives 30,000+ applications a year now, their admissions aren’t very holistic. Because of this, your numbers will likely hold you back from the main campus. I know many students from my high school class who are attending a regional campus and planning to transfer in two years, however. This isn’t the best for everyone, but if you’re a CT resident, it gives you another chance. You definitely miss out on a lot of what the school has to offer in terms of social experiences. If you really value the degree, though, it’s a solid option.</p>
