You sound like a strong applicant. Perhaps work on getting your ACT score up.

^ I agree

A 24 will get you in with your GPA (a few friends got in with that score), but I’d definitely try for a better score to relieve pressure and qualify for scholarships. You certainly have the resume to win scholarships, but you want to shoot for a 28 or better to qualify for an AU scholarship (some organizational scholarships require a lesser score).

Good luck and War Eagle!!!

I agree with the people ^. A better act score will definitely make you a stronger candidate and eligible for some of the scholarships that Auburn offers.
