Chances for St. Olaf?

<p>As the title says, what are this guy's chances for St. Olaf for both regular decision and ED? Last year's STO acceptance rate was right at 50% and has been dropping every year. Thanks in advance for your help!</p>

<ul>
<li> Out-of-state male</li>
<li> GPA: 3.92</li>
<li> ACT: 27</li>
<li> Rank: Top 15%</li>
<li> Varsity athlete</li>
<li> Good EC's</li>
<li> Lutheran</li>
<li> Visited</li>
<li> Financial aid needed</li>
</ul>

<p>ACT score is worrisome but will not be retaking. Also wondering if being male will be an advantage since the school is 57/43 female/male.</p>

<p>I think he will get in. The ACT score is a little worrisome, but I think his GPA/class rank make up for it. I don’t think being a male will help, but it certainly won’t hurt.</p>

<p>Good luck! It’s a good school. I would know, because I have a relative who goes there. :)</p>

<p>bump - anyone else?</p>

<p>My friend got in with around that GPA and a 26 ACT so I think you will be fine.</p>
