<p>I was wondering do high act and ap scores make up for a low gpa. my stats are as follow.
Loc:Chicago
ETHN:African American
STAT:Poor/disadvantaged background
GPA 1.8 all honors courses(can explain why in essays/interview, very good reason)
Currently a junior, many schools i have looked at dont factor in my senior year or freshmen year. I think that my recalculated GPA for fresh and what i have completed in terms of freshmen year would be a 2.0.
ACT: 35
AP: US HIST 5
GOV 5
GOV Comp 5
BIO 4
CHEM 4
PHYS C 4
CALC BC 3(plan to retake)
OTHER: Play violin,alto sax,tenor sax, and clarinet at an exceptional level.
I want to go to a big state school and was wondering what my chances.
I know that my ACT score is much higher then the average, and was hoping this in combination with my background/personality might give me a chance.</p>
