On Wisconsin...

<p>Ok. Im an average student. I have a 3.84 weighed and a 1770 is my best composite. I have a ton of international community service under my belt and founded several clubs at my school. Also, My Dad is an Alum. Do you think I stand a chance of getting in?</p>

<p>The chart at this website gives you as much information as you can get:

You have to use your unweighted GPA.
It doesn't look like your chances are very good.</p>

<p>How much does alum matter and i have a 3.6</p>

<p>I'm guessing you are a junior right now? I think being a legacy does help some, but I don't know exactly how much. I think your chance is okay atm, but I would recommend you take the SAT again or the ACT and try to get it around 1900 maybe. I had a 3.58 GPA and 1950 SAT and got in this year, so I would just recommend you get your test scores up at least 100 points and right some excellent essays.</p>

<p>Thank You very much</p>

<p>It would be akin to having the best of all the 3.6 GPAs out there but not as good as having a 3.7. It helps a little bit but not all that much. Better to raise your SAT to over 1900 which should be doable by taking a class and working hard at it. And do well the next two semesters. Take APs etc.</p>
