<p>Unfortunately, unless you wrote some KICK-ASS essays, I’d say it’s unlikely.</p>

<p>Never as a thing as no chance! :slight_smile: but I would go do some more things and for sure take the SAT! Never know. You might kill it :)</p>

<p>How many times have you taken the ACT? If just once, try again. If more, try the SAT. ACT works for some and SAT for others. If you could bring up that number I’d say you have a good chance at GU!</p>
