In state resident, looking to major in computer science or political science (I know, pretty different majors lol)

GPA (school only submits weighted to colleges on our transcripts) - 3.37 but I know MSU weighs honors courses as well, so to admissions officers it will be a 3.47. It’s low because I messed up in sophomore year, but greatly improved in junior year.

ACT - 23
Old SAT: 1550
New SAT - 1140

EC’s:

President of chess club - 2 years
Executive board - Law club (have been a member all 4 years as well)
Senior advisor (basically the president) - Followers of Christ (I have a deep faith in my religion) - 2 years
Spanish club - member - 4 years
Coding club - member - 2 years
Certified juror of teen court in the state of Michigan by our local judge in our city

Extra’s:

Fluent in coding in C

Please let me know what you think.

Google “Common Data Set Michigan State University” and see what they stats show. Section C is where you will find what they reported as the averages.

Did you really drop 310 pts going old SAT to new or is that a typo? Most people I see go up when going to the new. What was your breakdown of the sections?

A quick glance looks like a GPA of 3.5 or higher and an ACT of 24 or better would increase your chances. If you could up your ACT score a bit that might help to offset a lower GPA based on the Common Data Set info.

The old sat is scored out of 2400. The new is scored out of 1600. It’s basically the same score whichever way you score it.

Thanks for the input.
