I took 3 years of Spanish and currently taking AP English, Calculus, and Honors Physics at my high school.

I did the summer program at Carlson called Gopher Business. I am also a first gen college student who is Asian American. I know that Carlson is kind of a reach school for me, but I just want to know what my chances are. I’m pretty involved so I hope that helps me.

The ACT is clearly out of the “match” range but that’s the only negative. Yes, it’s a reach but first gen. will help as will the demonstrated interest. Not to mention the stellar grades and PSEO. Did you answer the diversity essay - guessing you would have a lot to contribute to the environment there so hopefully you let them know that :slight_smile:

I retook the ACTs on Oct 28 so I hope it is a little better than 25. And yes, I did answer the diversity essay, I hope that it helps my chances. Thank you for your input!

UPDATE: my act score did not go up. I guess I better get ready to get declined by Carlson!

Did you get a tutor?
