<p>I realize this site is mainly for people to ask about ivy league schools and that in comparison I seem definitely average, but I wouldn't mind getting some analysis on whether or not I can get into the schools I'm looking at. Some stats.
top 35% in a highly competitive school in MN. I've taken a few AP classes, chemistry, stats, english, and lit will be added soon. I've only done honors classes otherwise where offered. Unfortunately, my sophomore year, for the first half I messed up pretty badly and dive-bombed my GPA to a 3.1, but now after 6 quarters, its back up to a 3.4, which still isnt that strong. In my essays I plan to recognize the upward trend in my grades and ask or a recaculated GPA from the time I got serious on and then Id have a 3.74. by graduation Ill have a 3.5. I have an ACT of 29, 25 in eng, 33 in math, 26 in sci, and 32 in reading. also an 11 in writing. I do competitive speech and have been incredibly successful in the hardest district in the country and have been doing that for four years and will be captain, also, I do policy debate, as well as theater. I also volunteer for a breast cancer awareness group, and have held numerous jobs for the last two years. so to sum it up.....</p>

<p>GPA: 3.4
ACT:29
EC -breast cancer awareness
- Speech (4 years+ captain)
- Debate (2 years)
- Theater (2 years)
- held numerous jobs.

<p>Iowa State: You’re in, I’m pretty sure. [Admission</a> to Iowa’s Regent Universities: Regent Admission Index](<a href=“http://www2.state.ia.us/regents/RAI/]Admission”>http://www2.state.ia.us/regents/RAI/)</p>

<p>If you’re above 245, you <em>should</em> be able to get in (you will, if you’re from Iowa). I’m pretty sure the requirements are relatively equal for both Iowans and non-Iowans. Double check on ISU’s website</p>

<p>Check UW-Madison’s admissions requirements and such. I am pretty sure you’ll get in, but I am pretty sure they have some kind of predictor or chance estimator (I’ve seen it before).</p>

<p>St. Olaf: I think you’d have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>The rest I cannot speak to. Good luck!</p>

<p>I live in a Suburb of Des Moines close to Iowa State (about 20 minutes from Ames.) It’s a good school and I think it would be great for you.</p>
