<p>I will graduate with 9 science credits and an Academy Endorsement in Pre-Professional Health Care. My current GPA is low at a 3.4, but I wish to maintain a steady 3.5.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!!</p>

<p>No problem on GPA — </p>

<p>3.4 GPA is great (but you need 3.5 for automatic scholarships) – what is your ACT and/or SAT? You need a combined GPA with ACT/SAT for acceptance. The extra stuff wasn’t considered for my daughter. </p>

<p>It might be wise to go ahead and submit your current 9-11th grade transcript – then if you raise it during the year, resend a fresh transcript. That way you are guranteed a 3.4 GPA.</p>

<p>I’ve only taken the ACT once and I got a 26. However, that was over a year ago. I am planning on taking it on September 10th and am optimistic about being able to raise my score at least 2 points.</p>

5

<p>Go ahead and apply now. You don’t need to wait til you get the Sept ACT. You’ll be accepted with current stats. Then send your Sept ACT score (or list Bama as one of your free score recipients).</p>

<p>If your score goes up, you might get some scholarship money. </p>

<p>Is your weighted GPA a 3.4? or is that unweighted?</p>

6

<p>The 3.4 is weighted… is that bad?</p>

7

<p>It is too low for the assured scholarships, but you could still get a competitive scholarships.</p>
