<p>Something I think they might consider is that I went to three different schools in three years. Summer after freshman year I moved cross country and grades suffered. Then I transferred again. I don't know if they would take this into account. Thanks.</p>

<p>Thats a really high ACT for a relatively low GPA/Rank. Did you go to competitive high schools?</p>

<p>Yeah. And some people may see it as a copout, but the transferring genuinely effected (affected?) my study habits, grades, and class rank.</p>

<p>Your rank is low to be considered for admission. I don’t think your chances are great. Do apply though. You still might have a chance, since your ACT is great.</p>
