Chances at MSU?

Applying to College
1

<p>So I live in Mi, and really want to go to MSU.</p>

<p>I have a 3.22 GPA (which is on the lower end)</p>

<p>I got a 29 on the ACT (higher end)</p>

<p>I've been on student council for the past 3 years (I'm a junior) and Vice President for 2 years. I've also been on Student Congress and been in Key Club for 2 years. I have 70+ community service hours and will have over 100 by the time I apply for college. </p>

<p>My parents are also huge donors for the Journalism school (where I plan to attend) will that help? </p>

<p>I really screwed up my first 2 years but have done significantly better, and improved a lot. I'm hoping that my freshman and sophomore year (especially sophomore) year can be redeemed. I've heard a lot of people say if you have a reason for doing poorly (I've battled depression and anxiety, mother became unemployed..etc) they might overlook the low GPA?</p>

<p>Since you’re only a junior, can you bring up your GPA by the end of the year?</p>

<p>Also, you might be able to increase your ACT. Have you taken the SAT? If not, you should. Some kids do better on that especially if their ACT composite was negatively affected by the Science Reasoning section.</p>
