<p>I got rejected from Arizona State University... which is pretty sad I'll admit. That was my top choice. I have a 2.81/4 GPA and I recieved a 23 on my ACT. I know I am not the top student lol.</p>
<p>In-state requirements are at least 22 on ACT or 3.0 GPA, and Out-of-state requirements are minimum 24 on ACT or 3.0 GPA. I guess I missed that by one point with the ACT, and they ACTUALLY rejected me. I suppose the system worked because it is keeping another kid from out of state from attending.</p>
<p>However, I was given the option to petition my denial, and I am going to do so. Does anyone know how effective this is? I am also sending the school a letter telling them why I strongly feel they were wrong in their decision. It's very persuasive but definately not despirate.</p>
<p>I also applied to U of AZ in Tucson, but if I didn't get into ASU I think I have a lesser chance of getting in there. And I just last night applied to Northern Arizona University, which has the same requirements as ASU but I believe they don't take in consideration the out-of-state-importantance as much as ASU does; So I may have a better chance.</p>
<p>I did get into Northern Illinois University but I would really rather umm... not live here.</p>
<p>I want to live somewhere in a warmer climate and in a large urban area. I am hoping that if I get into NAU I can transfer after the first year with better chances for ASU. If i get into U of AZ, i'll stay all four years.</p>
<p>I'm just gonna keep trying my luck and hopefully get into an Arizona university!</p>
