<p>I think you’re going to be on the cusp. Any chance of retaking a test or bringing up the GPA a bit?</p>

3

<p>Is your GPA weighted or not? If your Weighted GPA is higher, then that’s good. With those test scores, definitely submit the SAT, not the ACT.</p>

<p>Bdcmc, I agree with the above responses that you are borderline, and each year UD’s admission stats just keep getting stronger. Another strategy may be to look into specific majors where the competition might not be as strong as others. I really don’t know which ones that might be, but if your heart is set on UD it might be worth the effort. Assuming it is a viable strategy to get in, you could most likely switch later on to your preferred major. Just a thought…</p>
