<p>GPA 2.2, I go to a very hard/competitive high school
ACT 27

Lots of community service that involves what I want to major in
I also am a 2 sport varsity athlete</p>

<p>My biggest question, however, in regards to me getting in or not, is how much does my GPA matter? The mean GPA that got accepted last year was a 3.3 and ACT was a 23. Obviously this leaves me with a lot of doubt for getting in because of my GPA. So does my GPA get weighted, or looked at less, because of my competitive high school? If a student gets into High Point with a 3.3 GPA (88 average) and a 23 ACT, does that make them a better candidate then me because they go to an easier graded high school? I feel as though this large gap between the GPA and ACT that they have accepted should have to leave them to weigh my GPA at a 3.8 or higher. But of course, it doesn't work that way... or does it? I don't know for sure how much higher they will put my GPA because of my school's difficulty and my ACT score, or if they will even make it higher at all. HPU is my top choice school, and I would very much like to get into it. If you know anyone that was a 2.0-2.4 GPA and around a 27 ACT or 1800 SAT that got in please let me know, thanks!</p>

<p>According to these stats:
<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1481”>http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1481&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your ACT is well above average for them. Are you aware that your guidance counselor sends a school profile with your transcript? It will show how competitive your high school is in comparison with other high schools. The admission is rolling so you should hear something soon after they receive your test scores, transcript and anything else they require. If you haven’t finished your application I would make sure to write a personal statement and describe your volunteer work and how it fits with your career ambitions. If you are a full pay student I have a feeling you’ll get in. Good luck.</p>
