<p>No. Huntsman is one of the most selective programs in the country. Sorry.</p>

<p>^A little terse, but I agree with the general sentiment. Your scores and GPA will almost certainly keep you out.</p>

4

<p>^I am nothing if not terse at 3:00am. But OP, there are lots of other really good schools in IR and business that you could certainly get into. If you post more information on what you’re looking for, I’m sure you’d get some good suggestions.</p>

<p>if i can get my ACT up to a 33/34 and my unweighted gpa to a 3.8/9 do you think i’d have a better chance?</p>

<p>Maaaybe. Huntsman and Wharton have that high prestige for a reason…they are extremely selective.</p>

<p>You need to also improve the SATIIs (try for 700+s).</p>

<p>For a Huntsman program, you really need to show the Admissions Committee why you want to study the languages, what experience you have with them.</p>

<p>Also, the legacy hook will only work for ED.</p>

<p>I have to agree with</p>

<p>thanks for the advice! im working very hard to get my grades up and get 5’s on my AP exams. I plan to apply ED</p>

<p>Keep your grades as high as possible. Improve those scores. But no, I won’t tell you that you have essentially no chance, if you’re wondering, because I think you do have one. Milk it.</p>
