U of Alabama or Ole Miss?

<p>Quick Bio: Average student freshman year but encountered family problems (forced to move out from parents home because of stress from them arguing, transferred schools, supported myself with after school job) during sophomore & junior year of high school. I realized my mistakes I made and had a strong upward trend senior year. Currently a fifth year senior, gpa has continued to rise. Maintained a 3.2 semester gpa since senior year but my cummulative gpa is barely 2.0. I've talked to college counselors from all of these schools and they all seem very understanding of my situation.. Most said their school would most likely look past my gpa and focus on my semester grades upward trend, EC's and test scores. Currently attend a private tribal school. ACT 22 & SAT 1370. I'm also an enrolled tribal member. I'm considered OOS. Can I get into Ole Miss? Alabama?</p>

<p>EC's:
Varsity Cheerleader-2 years
Varsity Basketball-1 year
Varsity Volleyball-1 year
Assistant Cheer Coach-1 year (this year)
Leadership Member
Native American Club- 5 years
100+ volunteer hours with cancer patients
Work experience (2 jobs)</p>

<p>Don’t send your SAT score. It’s below average whereas your ACT score is not.</p>

<p>Good to see that you are doing better. If you have already talked to college counselors and they say you have a chance then take their advice over anyone on here. </p>

<p>Also even though I think I know the answer, I just want to make clear that SAT score is out of 2400 not 1600. If so then take TheKongo’s advice.</p>

<p>I’ve only sent in my act scores :slight_smile: Thanks!!</p>
