<p>so my friend really wants to go to Boulder, these are her stats:</p>
<p>3.2 unweighted GPA
(taking hard classes senior year, no APs but no slacker classes)
ACT: 27</p>
<p>Captain of cheerleading squad
a part of a competitive cheerleading team (outside of school)
a lot of great extracurriculars</p>
<p>do you think she can get in?</p>
<p>Your friend's GPA is going to hurt her, although the ACT score is well above average. Look at the thread below about "What do you think of Boulder?" where I posted the average GPAs and test scores for the SAT and ACT in each of the respective Colleges within the University.</p>
<p>Overall, I'd say the chance of getting in is 50-50, maybe a little less than that. Best of luck!!</p>
<p>I think CSU would be a better fit for her.</p>
<p>I think she has a chance. Her GPA is a bit low as is her ACT score, but one good thing about Boulder is that they look more at your application overall and at you as a person (to the extent that they can) and don't focus solely on academics.</p>
<p>yeah her ACT isn't low.. it's above average for boulder.. but yeah she also like University of Denver, how does that compare?</p>
<p>If she's from CO, she'll be fine
remember, automatic admissions to people with 3.25 and 28 ACT...so, she's one point off, but I'm sure they'll let her in!</p>
<p>On DU...
I'm not so much a fan of DU. It's an okay campus but it's way too expensive for what it's giving. I did their "Hyde Interview" and it was just not impressive at all. If your friend really wants to go to a Colorado school, stick to the state ones (CSU/CU) because they are much better price/quality than DU. </p>
<p>Well
depending on what you to do</p>
<p>CU- Chemistry/physics/pre-med
CSU- Vet/Pre-med
DU- Business/IR</p>
<p>CU's business program is one of the tops in the country, so CU for business as well</p>
<p>yeah she's interested in business... thanks a lot!</p>
