So, UO is my top choice school, but I’m really worried about my chances of getting admitted there. I wasn’t the best student when it came to my grades, so my gpa is not reflective of my knowledge. However, my sat and act are more reflective of my intelligence. I’m mainly worried about how my gpa will affect my chances of admission. Anyone have any idea what my chances would be?
GPA: 3.2 weighted
SAT: 1350
ACT: 33
(I’m from Virginia just btw)
OOS
4.3 gpa
1240 SAT
she got holistic review. i think you can get that too with a strong SAT score and a good chance it happens
I agree! You’ve got plenty of opportunity to explain your situation in the “Additional Information” section, as well as the “What can you bring to the community section”–make sure you’re essays are well written and show that those lower grades are a part of your past, not your present or future. Good Look!
Thank you!
