<p>3.5 uw gpa/3.7 w
strong upward trend (went from a 3.27 uw/w to a 4.0 uw/4.57 w)
5 ap classes so far, 3 more senior year
33 ACT (36 s, 35 r, 34 m, 33 e, 8 essay)
OK ECs</p>
<p>chances for admission to CSE, honors, and scholarships?</p>
<p>You do realize the act you reported on the OP is a 35…
Anyways you’ll get in no problem. My friend got in with a 29 act and a 3.88 uw gpa. Honors program chances : very slim unless your act is actually a 35</p>
<p>I took the ACT three times. Those are my best scores on each subsection, so my it would superscore to a 35 but my highest composite is a 33.</p>
<p>Also a 3.5 unweighted is quite a bit lower than a 3.88</p>
<p>I am going to post some links for you so that you can determine your chances.</p>
<p>Here is the link for the profile of admitted Freshman for the class of 2013:</p>
<p>[Academic</a> Profile](<a href=“http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/academics/profile.html]Academic”>Academic Profile of Fall 2022 Admitted Freshman Applicants by College | Office of Admissions)</p>
<p>Here is a link for the honors program:</p>

<p>If you scroll down a little bit it gives a table for the profile of admitted applicants to the honors program. This is for the Freshman class of 2012.</p>
<p>Here is a link for scholarships offered by the university:</p>
<p>[University-Wide</a> Scholarships](<a href=“http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/costsaid/schol_campus.html]University-Wide”>University-Wide Academic Scholarships | Office of Admissions)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>OK I’m pretty unlikely to make honors.</p>
<p>However, it’s difficult for me to tell my chances based off of admissions charts like the one you posted since I’m always above average for the ACT yet below average for gpa/class rank. Therefore, my admission depends on holistic factors and are better judged by people who know how individual universities react to high test score/low gpa combinations</p>
<p>Here is a chart that I found that shows admissions to Minnesota based on ACT scores and GPA:</p>
<p>[University</a> of Minnesota Twin Cities - GPA and Test Scores Needed for Admission](<a href=“http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/university-of-minnesota-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm]University”>University of Minnesota: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores)</p>
<p>Based on the chart, it looks like all applicants that had an ACT score of 33 were admitted as long as their GPA was over a 3.5. If your GPA is a 3.7, then you are looking good for admission based on this chart. I do not know what year this chart is from though, and admission to UMN seems to get more and more competitive each year.</p>
<p>That chart is only for admission the the U as a whole - nothing to do with getting into one of the individual colleges.</p>
<p>I’m not too worried about getting in to the U, just about getting into the Engineering program.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>^^^
True, but based on the chart, there are no denials for students that had at least a 33 ACT and a GPA of over 3.5. Although I would take that information w/a grain of salt, I think your chances look pretty good. Hopefully you will hear your decision soon! Waiting for it is so hard!</p>
