My chances at KU?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm female and Hispanic, as well as a Kansas resident. I got a 24 on my ACT. When I was in high school, I was president of Writers Club and Schools for Schools (a fund-raising club for African children). I have my GED, with scores over 600 in all but math, where I got a 500. My composite score was 3050 out of 4000. I have my GED because at the end of my junior year (07/08), I suffered some health and family complications, so I moved around and had to drop out. I went back to school and got my GED through the school. I wish I could have stayed in, but it was out of my control. </p>

<p>Anyway, I've been trying really hard to get into KU. I don't want this whole GED thing to mess up my future. </p>

<p>So yeah.</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>im not sure about GED b/c i am not familiar, your ACT i would think be fine for them though.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Anybody else?</p>

<p>Nobody? v.v...</p>

<p>sorry, but what the heck is KU?</p>

<p>also, do you have other schools that you're considering? If you do, we could chance you on those, as well.</p>

<p>The University of Kansas.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance. If you could elaborate on the course you wish to enroll in, it would help.</p>

<p>I want to be a psych major, which would enroll me in the KU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.</p>

11

<p>Nobody else has anything to say?</p>

<p>D: I'll give you cookies.</p>

12

<p>Buuuuuump.</p>

13

<p>I am from Kansas, a minority, and had the same score my act and was accepted early decision, so I'd say your chances are very good.</p>

14

<p>What was your GPA? If you don't mind me asking, that is.</p>

<p>Bumpeth? 10char</p>

<p>I don't know how to interpret your stats other than your ACT score.</p>

<p>The University of Arkansas (I'm from Arkansas) generally accepts students who have a 24 ACT with anywhere between a 2.80-3.00 GPA. Any GPA lower than that, and you probably get denied. Given that the U of A is a worse school than Kansas, it's probably a little easier to get in.</p>

<p>So, if your general stats are about the equivalent of a 24 ACT and 3.00 GPA I think you might get in.</p>

<p>But, just in case you don't know, worst case scenario is that you'll have to go to a community college for a year or two and then transfer to KU. Community colleges are a lot cheaper and you can get your core classes out of the way there...so it's really not the end of the world if you have to go to a CC.</p>

<p>...Don't take anything I say with certainty though. I'm just a senior in high school who probably knows no more than you about colleges.</p>

<p>My GED score roughly translates into a 3.5 GPA. But, you know, GEDs are looked down upon, so it might hurt my chances.</p>

<p>Thanks though. Somebody FINALLY took a little bit of time and gave me more than a sentence or two. xD</p>
