<p>On the left hand side of the page, it says that the average score for new Freshman on the ACT is a 27 and the average GPA is 3.72</p>
<p>If my ACT is a 29 or 30, and my GPA is a 3.30 - 3.40, should I have a decent shot at getting accepted?</p>
<p>It also says:
Number who applied:
920
Number accepted:
812</p>
<p>It also says they have about a hundred more girls than guys, and since I'm a guy, should that give me an advantage?</p>
<p>Your chances are great! The college accept almost 90% of its applicants. You GPA is a bit low, but your ACT score should make up for that.</p>
<p>I'm going to be a sophomore at Hendrix this fall and I am pretty sure that you would get in. They might even throw you little scholarship if you have some EC's to go with that.</p>
<p>Can you give examples of "EC's"?</p>
<p>EC's = extra credits?</p>
<p>you most likely won't have a problem getting in if you get those scores.</p>
<p>EC's= extracurriculars.</p>
<p>I'm certain beyond a doubt that I will get a minimum of a 29. </p>
<p>Yeah well, I'm wanting to go to Hendrix pretty badly because they supposedly have a great engineering program and deal with Vanderbilt. I heard from my brother that that all undergraduates of engineering at Hendrix get to go to Vanderbilt automatically for their graduate degrees....And that sounds great to me.</p>
<p>extracurriculars is one word, lol. So I guess that's why I didn't think of that.</p>
<p>Well I have a job and play baseball for my high school, so hopefully those are some positives.</p>
<p>Since you thought EC's meant Extra Credit, I am beginning to have my doubts.</p>
<p>"EC" implies that there are two words.</p>
<p>The only two word combination related to academics that I thought of was 'extra credit'.</p>
<p>'Extracurricular' is one word, so if you're intuitively trying to think of two words, that shouldn't come into mind.</p>
<p>....And yes, I realize the reason why 'EC' is used for 'Extracurricular', but because I'm not a forum regular, and just didn't think of that.</p>
<p>My sincere apologies to you, sir.</p>
<p>Plus, I'm heavily a math and science person, so........you get the picture.</p>
<p>Wow- a nearly 90% acceptance rate.
You should have no problem getting in- just because you're gpa is below the average, it doesn't mean it's too low to be accepted.</p>
<p>Yep, and I think they're ranked something like 66th best liberal arts colleges in the nation?</p>
<p>My absolute worse case scenario is an ACT of 28 and a GPA 3.25</p>
<p>Both of those, however, are extremely unlikely; I'd have to only improve one point on the ACT (after only taking it once as a sophomore without prep so far), and my GPA would have to drop slightly instead of rise (it's a a 3.30 right now).</p>
<p>So even if my worst case scenario were true, with a 90% acceptance rate and an average ACT of 27 and GPA of 3.72, I should still easily get in?</p>
