<p>which college are you asking about? Your' SAT is pretty average I think. Your ACT is above average, but your GPA is below average. It depends what college you would be applying to.</p>

3

<p>probably the liberal arts college.</p>

4

<p>I think that you probably have a decent chance. The earlier you apply the better chance you have. The only thing working against you is your GPA and that isn't even that horrible. Are you in-state or out? What year will you be applying for '07/'08 or '08/'09?</p>

5

<p>I doubt he'll get in. GPA is far too low. I have a 3.65 with 3.8ish weighted and a 32 ACT. Waitlisted.</p>

6

<p>I doubt it. Your ACT is pretty decent, but GPA is way too low even for the general college. And they will see your GPA to ACT ratio as you didn't apply yourself.</p>

7

<p>Schreck I recommend you appeal your decision. LOTS of people from my HS are having success with it.</p>

8

<p>I got accepted from high school with a 3.3 directly into the liberal arts college... 28 ACT</p>

9

<p>I agree that his GPA is low, but the U does practice "holistic" admissions for what that is worth. His courseload looks chalenging. I think acaron does have a point about the gpa act ratio. I've had limited experience with admissions at The U. Most people here do as well. Talk with your guidance councelor and they should be able to give you a better idea of what your real chances are.</p>

10

<p>If you apply in Sept. you have an extremely good chance.</p>

11

<p>i have SAT 1240 and i got admitted to EE. and i'm international too.
i think you have a good chance</p>

12

<p>Sorry, but you probably won't get in off the waitlist with your GPA. I got in General Studies with a 3.3GPA and 21ACT, so they might let you in GS but not liberal arts. If you really want to get in you should probably consider appealing asap!!!!!</p>

13

<p>It depends on the high school you went to, the U doesn't necesarily look at GPA they go from class rank, I had just over a 3.1 and a 26 on the ACT and I got rejected to even the general college. But then again I was in the bottom half of my class.</p>

14

<p>Not to mention the fact that application levels were at historic highs this year, many people were waitlisted that really should have been accepted.</p>

15

<p>ya, I had a 3.7 with 1260 SAT and I got waitlisted. But I am out of state, so that might have played a rather large role in their decision.</p>
