<p>I am currently interested in attending University of Cincinnati for their Aerospace Engineering program.
I will be heading into my senior year with a GPA of 3.0, an ACT of 29, and an SAT of 1710.
I have basically 0 EC's and just got a job at at local grocery store. I can get several letters of recommendation.
Is there a way I can get into the school but not into the program?
I started my high school career with a very poor GPA but for the last 3 semesters I have gotten straight-A's and am scheduled to take 3 honors (Honors Pre-Calc, AP European History, AP Computer Science). Does it make a difference that my grades have drastically improved?</p>
<p>Look up the Common Data Set, sections C7 and C9. An improving GPA is good. A consistently high one is better.</p>
<p>It’s a match.</p>
<p>Wow man that is extremely helpful, I had no idea that Common Data Sets existed! Thank you so much, it looks like what I’ll need to do is raise my ACT to a ~31 and my SAT a little bit.</p>
<p>Pick one or the other to work on. Colleges accept either test.</p>
<p>Would it not look better if both were good?</p>
<p>Nope, just focus on one. They will just look at the highest. </p>
