<p>Two of the schools I'm applying to are university of north texas, and oklahoma state university.
I'm applying to 8 other schools. The highest one is probably Texas state university, or pace university.</p>
<p>I was thinking that maybe I should just apply regular decision and see if I can get in. I want to bring up my unweighted GPA by December from an unweighted of 2.8 to 3.1, or 3.2. My weighted is a 4.2. I want to bring it up to a 4.5 GPA.</p>
<p>Should I apply regular admission??</p>
<p>Yes! Apply regular.
Many people believe that they have a higher chance of getting accepted if they apply early decision/action since it has a higher acceptance rate than regular but that isn’t true! Actually,applying early might be harder because the applicants first choice is X,Y school they will therefore be prepared,ready to get a spot.
Wait and raise your gpa.
Good luck!</p>
<p>OP, I don’t believe that UNT offers Early Action. EA and ED are usually used by more/highly selective schools. Under the impression most State schools are rolling type admissions with the exception of the more competitive dept/programs.</p>
<p>I don’t think you’re going to be able to bring up your GPA by .3 between now and December. I don’t doubt your scholarly aptitude, but that’s still a large jump for 1 semester.</p>
<p>Also, at my school they didn’t recalculate GPA or rankings after the end of junior year, so I don’t even think my GPA increase (from the end of jr year to sr year) was ever noted. When I got my final transcript after I graduated, there was no mention of what my GPA had been after 6 semesters. All that was listed for senior year was my courseload, the level, and the final grade.</p>
<p>I think there are various pros and cons to applying early - maybe the GPA boost will matter if you apply later, maybe you need time to refine an essay, or whatnot. But when I sent my last application on November 29th, a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders. It was a wonderful feeling and it makes it much easier to focus on my schoolwork. </p>
<p>Also, your weighted GPA is not shabby and it will be taken into consideration. I would apply to some schools early and some schools later.</p>
<p>I think you’re fine at UNT in either decision plan, you’re on track for admission</p>
<p>Thank you guys soooo much!!</p>
