<p>I am currently a junior and I'm expecting my GPA to be around a 3.65 weighted. I know that's not the best GPA but I do have a lot of extracurricular activities. I was really lazy my first two years of high school, and I didn't get really motivated until this year and I have found a passion of mine and I want to major in economics, I haven't taken either the SAT or the ACT but I am scheduled to do so, I just want to know what chances I have of getting in.

<p>While no one here can really answer your question or “chance you” - of course you have a shot at getting in!</p>

<p>I feel pretty confident about your ability to get in. Your high school career looks extremely similar to mine if not better considering that I had a 3.4. I got in, though, because I wrote great essays packed with my passion for physics, I interviewed really well, had fantastic letters of recommendation, and come from an extremely underrepresented area (I am the only person I know within about a 150 mile radius). I feel like the most important aspect of the application is to convey your passion. If it economics, explain why you love it and what you intend to do with it, and why UR is an integral part of that process.</p>
