<p>I’ve been thinking of applying to Auburn for a while and I’m wondering what my chances are of getting in.
I’m not in the top 10%, but here are some details about me.</p>

<p>Student in San Antonio, Texas. I studied my freshmen year in Arizona due to a military dad.
SAT score: 1750/2400 (Retaking it in October and shooting for an 1800 at least)
GPA: 3.7/4.0
AP Classes:

  • English Lang.
  • English Lit.
  • Psychology
  • Statistics </p>

<p>Other:

  • I’ve taken three years of Spanish, and I’m graduating distinguished.
  • I’ve been a part of the spirit organization at my school for three years Pep Squad, JV Dance, and now Varsity Dance Team.
  • I’m in NHS, and Spanish NHS, and I’m applying for Dance Arts NHS.
  • I’ve completed several hours of Volunteer Service.
  • Latino Culture Club
  • P.I.N Club
  • I’ve danced with studios outside of school</p>

<p>Please let me know your thoughts, they are well appreciated. Thank you!</p>

<p>Just looking at hard data, you scores are close to last year’s averages. For the class entering this fall, they had an average GPA of 3.81, and a 27.2 ACT. I couldn’t find the average SAT score, but a 27 ACT is equivalent to an 1860 SAT. I’d say you have a good chance of being accepted especially if you score over 1800 on your SAT re-take.</p>

<p>Annndiee – As Mustang said, you have a very good chance. If you want a more concise idea of the admissions stats from the last several years, check out the 2011 Factbook from the Auburn Office of Institutional Research:</p>

<p><a href=“https://oira.auburn.edu/newstu_factbookFA11.pdf[/url]”>https://oira.auburn.edu/newstu_factbookFA11.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>BTW: avg. Auburn SAT score for this year’s entering freshman class: 1233/1600 – this number from the latest Factbook. This pdf is going to tell you just about every relevant statistic there is to know about the latest admission cycle. </p>

<p>Mpatel: While your other stats look pretty good, your ACT really needs to come up. It’s not impossible to get in with a low ACT, but it does get a lot tougher. From this year’s entering class, only 482 kids who had an ACT of 22 or below were admitted – this number is from the total group of 12,827 who were admitted. 4,202 total students actually enrolled. Your chances go up substantially if you can get at least a 23 – the admit numbers for the 23-26 crowd: 3,150/12,827 – much better odds than 482. </p>

<p>The overall class admission rate for this year’s class was 70%, down from around 78%.</p>

<p>mpatel: did you take the SAT? Sometimes students perform better on one test vs. the other. You might find you have a higher SAT than ACT.</p>
