<p>You have a very good chance.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks ThePhilosopher. I wasn’t sure if UConn was much more selective with their OOS students or not.</p>

4

<p>They are, but your GPA is good WITH some challenging classes. Your ACT is average, but again, I think you make up for it. As long as you write a good personal essay, you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Has UConn posted up their application for the Fall 2009 yet ?</p>

6

<p>Fall 2010…sorry</p>

7

<p>Is your GPA on a 4 point scale or 5?</p>

8

<p>Yes, applications are now available.</p>

9

<p>My school does GPA on a 4.0 scale.</p>

<p>Thanks to budget problems, I wouldn’t be surprised if this year’s class has more OOS students than previous classes. I’m curious to see what the numbers will be when they are released after this year’s admission cycle.</p>

<p>^ The University, believe it or not, loses money for accepting out-of-state students. The reason for this is because the State reimburses the University per in-state student. Numbers should be about the same.</p>
