<p>I am a senior in high school and I fell in love with Muhlenberg. However, my grades are not strong with a 2.7 GPA and not a strong ACT score with a 23. I plan on applying early decision within the coming weeks and I have heard that really increases my chances.</p>
<p>Also, I will be going to Muhlenberg for a scheduled interview and a campus tour. Do I have a chance for my dream school???</p>

<p>Honestly… I don’t much know what to say here. It being October, you can’t retake the ACT and you can’t really improve your GPA before November 1st.</p>
<p>Good luck, but I expect you to be waitlisted. Muhlenberg is known to have Tufts Syndrome.</p>
<p>Zach, Absent a tremendous hook… ie. star athlete or actor, Olympic competitor, war hero, etc. you are going to need some help. You are going to have to explain the low GPA, perhaps show you have been on an upward curve since blowing up freshman year grades due to mono. Something. You are going to need really strong recommendations, have a great story to tell regarding your passion for Muhlenberg, have some influential connection to the school, you are going to have to work every possible angle you can to convince admissions that they really need you at Muhlenberg. Best of luck.</p>
