<p>I applied to Illinois State University. Their middle 50% of students got 22-26 ACT and 3.1-3.7 GPA. 25% have lower grades than those and 25% have higher. I have a 21 on my ACT and 2.64 GPA (I screwed up my first two years) I am a minority, first generation student, I am fluent in the Spanish language, and I wrote a pretty darn good personal statement of why ISU is for me, academic strengths and weaknesses, and what circumstances effected my grades. I also included that I did screw up my first years and plan to raise my grades. Also, I exceed their course requirements in the Social studies, science, and math sections. They were not easy classes either. Now, my counselor said I have more going for me than against me. My GPA is really the only thing holding me back, what do you guys think? Thank you for your time!</p>

<p>PS I plan to major in criminal justice</p>

<p>I think that you have more going for you than against you like your counselor. Are you thinking of any other colleges? Are you in any college-level courses? How are your EC’s? Can you answer mine?
Thanks</p>

<p>My ECs are only football all four years with evidence of success, and crime stoppers. I don’t plan on going to any other colleges, I will go to a community college first if I have to, to attend ISU.</p>
