<p>Let me tell you, I’m going to regret my first two years of HS if this is what it comes down to…</p>

<p>I’m in State</p>

<p>I got about a 2.3 GPA both Freshman and Sophomore years, my Junior year I got an average 3.0 GPA, and this year I am confident I cane get a 3.5+ GPA,</p>

<p>I’m taking AP ECON, SENIOR ENGLISH, PRE CALC, AND POLITICAL SCIENCE(College course)</p>

<p>my average GPA right now is a 2.6 UW, but a 2.4 if you just include the core requirements…</p>

<p>I know I’m bad, I got a 21 on the ACT and am retaking it this Saturday, should I raise it to a 22 before applying?</p>

<p>finally what are my chances! thanks…</p>

<p>This is from ASU's site</p>

<p>Aptitude Requirement </p>

<p>Students must meet one of the following aptitude requirements: </p>

<p>3.0 GPA in competency courses (2.5 - 2.99 considered)
Top 25% (top 26-50% considered)
ACT 22 (24 nonresidents)*
SAT Reasoning 1040 (1110 nonresidents)*</p>

<p>Freshman</a> Admission Requirements, Preferential Deadlines and Steps | University Student Initiatives</p>

<p>If you can raise up that ACT score you should be able to get in since you are a resident.</p>

<p>Did you take the SAT? If so what was your score?</p>

3

<p>yeah I did, and it wasn't good. I prefer the ACT style.</p>

4

<p>How is your class rank?</p>

5

<p>i don't know if we have one.</p>

6

<p>ASU does take 95% of its applicants</p>

7

<p>but i can be that 5% :(</p>

<p>With an attitude like that I don't recommend you apply to ASU, or any other college. You should go to a community college and work your way up. However, if you actually have some faith in yourself and gain some confidence then maybe you'll get in. I happen to have very similar stats to you, however remember that ASU plans on expanding into one the largest colleges IN THE WORLD. They already have a 90 something acceptance rate. As long as you didnt no get D's on your report card all of high school and have around a 77 average and decent ACT and SAT's scores you have no reason to worry. However, it depends on you're major..</p>

<p>Best of Luck</p>

<p>P.S.</p>

<p>your in state. wow</p>

<p>your a lock..</p>

10

<p>but i have d's.</p>

11

<p>how many D's.
and say you get a D in science which is below the requirment but get a 22 on the science part of the ACT..then your clear</p>

<p>make your grades up with test scores</p>

12

<p>yeah my d's in science are made up, Algebra 1 and 2-D's, Spanish 3/4-D's I'm retaking Alg 1 now... and might take alg 2 next semester.</p>

13

<p>I think that if you stay confident and continue working hard, you'll have no problem. Once you bring your ACT score up to at least a 22, you should be fine. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>I got my scores back, I got a 22! woohoo</p>
