<p>can you retake your ACT?. .. the higher the better.. and statistically 1 out 2 do better the second time they take it.. also.. keep working on the GPA!</p>

<p>If you apply in September you will get in... You seem about average with grades, but you have a lot of activities. Just don't make the mistake of waiting later to apply.. APPLY ASAP</p>

<p>I would advise you to study for and retake the ACT. You can look at the freshman profile here ( <a href="http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/Academics/profile.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/Academics/profile.html&lt;/a> ) and the average act for cla is 25.8. Other than that, it is definately beneficial to apply as early as possible since the U has rolling admissions.</p>
