<p>You have a chance at CEHD, CFANS, CLA but Minnesota is definitely a reach for you.</p>

<p>so is it unlikely for me to get in to the U of M</p>

<p>You are admitted to a specific college, not just the university. So it matters which one you are interested in.</p>

<p>I would say your odds are not great. However, that is not a reason not to apply. Just make sure you have other options if it doesn’t work out.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>The U of M has its majors broken up into a series of colleges. Each college basically decides its own admissions.</p>

<p>You have a chance of getting in CEHD, CFANS, CLA, and the Design college. Apply to those colleges. I would say that CBS and CSE are probably impossible so don’t bother.

<p>What were you interested in studying?</p>

<p>Yeah, retake the SAT. Aim for a 27+. GL</p>

<p>You could get the Real ACT red book and practice the ACT to try to get your score up a bit. Also it may be helpful if you are from MN. If you would like to graduate from the U of MN, but do not get admitted out of high school, you could also take classes at a community college to demonstrate your college readiness. Do well and you can apply as a transfer student from community college. When the U got rid of the General college, the idea was that students could go to a community college and then xfer to the U when they were prepared. You do have some advantage in being from an under-represented ethnicity and being a first-generation college student. It isn’t the end of the world if you go to a community college first. It can be a nice transition from high school and you can earn credits that can transfer - eg you could get some of the distribution requirements out of the way so you wouldn’t lose too much time. Good luck!</p>
