Sliding scale

<p>If my GPA is slightly below the schools minimum but my SAT score is about 500 higher than their average do I still have a chance at getting in?</p>

<p>Short answer: yes. Schools do not have a minimum. Do you mean the 25% point of students? To help us help you, can you give us your GPA/SAT and tell us what school(s) you're thinking about, please?</p>

<p>Getting in is more than just a numbers game. Good EC's, Recommendations, and essays are what will seal the deal for anyone.</p>

<p>I got a 1900 on the SATs (their average is 1500) and my GPA is .2 below the minimum </p>

<p>the school is Mount Ida who has a 80% acceptance rate.
I have recs and essay done and everything.</p>

<p>Everything about college admissions is really up in the air... but I think you'll be fine.</p>
