<p>I am applying to the school of engineering and was deferred a couple weeks ago. I am planning on retaking the ACT this Feb. Is it a long shot of being appected?</p>
<p>Your chances aren't good. Your GPA is 2/10th of a point lower than average and your ACT is 4 points lower than the average. If you can improve your ACT to 30+, including a 31+ in Math, I'd say your chances will be much improved, but if your ACT improves to a 27 or 28, I don't see it happening.</p>
<p>I figured so. I was defered though, I thought I would be straight outright rejected. I can always transfer, kinda my dream to be an aerospace engineer and reflected on that in one of my short essays.</p>
