HELP!!
I know my gpa is low. But I went from taking no AP and Honors courses fresh/half of soph year to all AP and Honors.
I want to go to MSU because I want to be a teacher---and they have the best Education program in the country!</p>
<p>Do you know what your weighted is? Your ACT is good, but that GPA is not :(. (Btw, I though Eastern’s education department outranks MSU’s?)</p>
<p>Also, when did you apply?</p>
<p>My friend just got deferred with the exact same stats :(</p>
<p>Crono, do you know when your friend applied and what his/her weighted was? (I’m trying to get a general jist of this year’s admission’s profile kind of thing)</p>
<p>My weighted is a 3.6. My transcript shows an upward trend. I got straight C’s my freshmen year. Soph/Junior Year I got all A’s and one B each semester. As far as Eastern, I don’t really want to go there.</p>
<p>I just applied also.</p>
<p>You have a decent chance but they will likely defer you, waiting for your 1st semester senior grades. Good luck!</p>
<p>The average gpa of a kid who gets accepted to MSU at my school is 3.19. The average ACT is:26. I have higher than both of those. My first semester grades will be weighted as a 4.3. Will that help??</p>
<p>
He applied in late October/early November. Our school doesn’t weigh GPAs, but if it counts for anything, he’s taken 8 AP classes counting two this year. 3.2 GPA and a 28 ACT. </p>
<p>Also, if you’re trying to build a profile, another friend of mine applied mid-October, and she was deferred with a 3.7 GPA and a 22 ACT. So they do seem to be scaling up admissions standards this year!</p>
<p>Yowch Crono, a 3.7? Oy :(. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How do you know those stats? The GPA is way under MSU’s average. And yes, those first semester grades will help. As fa-la said, you will probably get deferred but then might get an acceptance with that dramatic upward trend and senior grades. Best of luck!!</p>
<p>My schools has graphs for every school that all students have applied to in the past 4 years. It graphs the average ACT and Gpa accepted from our school. Anyone who gets over a 25 on the act is admittted (from our school).</p>
<p>I have been accpeted to (thus far):</p>
<p>American
Muhlenberg
Earlham</p>
<p>It seems weird that I wouldn’t get into MSU if I got into American. I don’t know. Hopefully I get in.</p>
