<p>so.....
i have a 3.8779 gpa
im in the top 10 of my school
i have a 25 on the act
but i screwed up on msu essay....</p>
<p>im super tensed. how important is the essay compared to my academics?
What are my chances on getting in even though i screwed my essay up?</p>
<p>As I understand it, MSU’s essay isn’t a big deal if you’re already strong in terms of academics. Since you’re in the top 10, have a solid GPA, and you’re in the middle 50% for your ACT, a so-so essay probably isn’t going to kill you.</p>
<p>Make sure to apply as early as possible, as that will help your chances.</p>
<p>i already applied, its been a couple of weeks. they just downloaded my transcript on october 31. hopefully i hear from them by the end of this month.i screwed up pretty bad on the essay.
but your post gives me hope lol.</p>
<p>Just curious about what makes you think you totally screwed it up?</p>
