Is this university interested in me or did they just want the application money?

<p>The OP didn’t apply to Boulder, he LIVES in Boulder. Here is a link to the admissions page, and there is a chart in the middle of the page (the blue and black one). Click on it to expand it.</p>

<p>You will see that with an 18 ACT and your GPA, you are solidly in the “weak candidate” section. With your current GPA, you would need to get your scores up to a 24 or better to get into the “possible candidate” section. If I were you, I would study and take the ACT again. Even if they reject you, you could send the score and ask them to reconsider if you do well enough. And it would help you with any other schools you want to apply to.</p>
