Hi! I’m really freaking out on if i will get into miami of ohio. I visited there and am in love with it. i have an ACT score of 26 and am taking it again in june and hoping to get at least a 27. I have a weighted gpa of 3.38. I have a summer job and do volunteer work regularly. Next year (senior year) i am taking 2 honors classes (chinese and forensics). i have taken 4 years of a language. I have been on the varsity swim team all four years. Please tell me what you think!!!
Please help!
I think it is possible. If you were to aim just a bit higher to a 29, I’d be more comfortable…are you in/out of state?
out of state - Missouri

there are several tabs that slice and dice the statistics.
Passing on some wisdom I received here…look at the common data set. they admit a huge % from OOS.
the middle 50% of ACT, meaning kids between 25 and 75%tile…are 24 to 30.
You are in loewer quadrant of GPA tho. So you have a decent shot I’d say. it’s a reach, but you may be able to up your chances with lots of interest questions to admissions (not dumb questios tho). Your essays should be great…get your GC to help!
Early Decision may be your friend…
Ok thank you for your reply!
If I apply early decision would that make a difference?
