<p>I would like to know how good of a chance i have to get into Michigan State University. I have a 3.0 gpa and a 25 ACT score. I take AP and honors classes for the majority of my classes. By the end of my senior year I will have 5 years of advanced English classes including Eastern Michigan University English which is taught in my school for college credits. Im a member of Student Council and have won awards like Junior Coming Home Rep. I've also worked at an ice arena for about a year now and i know that might help me a little bit with EC activities</p>
<p>MSU isnt that tough to get in even though their stats seem surprisingly high.
I got in with those stats and got scholarships.
u should get in.</p>
<p>I really couldn't say if you were definitely in or not, but the best way to make sure you have a good chance is to APPLY EARLY. I applied really early, got in, my friend with the same grades applied later, and didn't. </p>
<p>The application makes you write a short statement, so maybe work on that a bit which will definitely help as well.</p>
<p>"MSU isnt that tough to get in even though their stats seem surprisingly high."</p>
<p>Actually, because of the increased applications and higher student standards, it is getting increasingly difficult to get in. Obviously not ivy-difficult, but more difficult than it was 5 years ago.</p>
<p>I have a friend with a 25 ACT and 3.0 who didn't get in. It was really weird and he got screwed and now has to go to Lansing Community College. However, he had taken only 1 AP class (which I think he got a C in the class and a 2 on the AP test) so his transcript was not as impressive as yours. You have a very good chance I would say. Can you list your AP/Honors classes you have taken?</p>
<p>Honors British Lit
AP World Literature
AP Sociology
Eastern Michigan English (Im taking senior year)
and History of War which is either an Honors or an AP class I forgot which, but im taking it next year.</p>
<p>^^ History of War isn't an AP class. Only classes that have Collegeboard AP tests affiliated with them can be considered AP. Otherwise, it is just honors.</p>
<p>So that Sociology class cannot be AP either.</p>
<p>And world literature??? Maybe that's AP English lit??</p>
<p>I think with those stats you will have a great chance at getting in.
Go Spartans!</p>
<p>wow i got in with only one AP class
but then my gpa and ACT scores were a lot higher
but i think you should have no problem if you are a MI resident. my friend got in w/ 2.7GPA and 23 ACT</p>
<p>im really worried about getting into msu myself actually. I have a 3.34 and a 23 ACT. im also from wisconsin as well</p>
<p>i've taken mostly hard classes throughout high school, i'm taking 5 college classes this year too</p>
<p>the only alumni relation i have is my great uncle who went there for his undergrad and grad and was in a fraternity too.</p>
<p>edit: i've also been in fbla, school play, football, and rugby throughout high school. won contests in the state for web page design. eagle scout too.</p>
<p>wow rugby in high school sounds like it would be really cool. Michigan doesnt have much of that.</p>
<p>does any body know the earliest you can apply to MSU?</p>
<p>yeah rugby is a blast. we took 2nd in state my sophomore year.</p>
<p>i believe the earliest is sometime in august</p>
<p>thats all i remember reading from their website</p>
<p>ahhh i really wanna go there :( i'm trying to not get my hopes up too much though</p>
<p>this goes with my newest thread</p>
<p>hmm.......im so worried about getting</p>
<p>3.4 and 23 ACT :</p>
<p>smash u should get in. I would reccommend you take the SAT or ACT again to mayby raise it to a 25.</p>
<p>My brother had a 2.9 and a 21 on his ACT he got into MSU but for the Spring Semester and onward. So just apply early!</p>
<p>I got in with a 3.6 and a 27</p>
<p>I didnt have any AP classes and only took one honors class and that was my senior year.</p>
<p>What kind of EC's did you have?</p>
