<p>Ok so I have a pretty good weighted GPA (4.6) and have taken over 12 AP's but my ACT is a low 26.... </p>
<p>Lots of EC's and more than 200 service hours</p>
<p>I have won art awards and have exhibited at my school</p>
<p>FL resident/low income/hispanic/female</p>
<p>good essay</p>
<p>3 languages (spanish, english, french)</p>
<p>Chancing back:)</p>
<p>You will have a good chance if you get your ACT up to at least a 29 or 30. </p>
<p>How can you explain your ACT score with such a high GPA? Did you take the SAT? Any subject tests?</p>
<p>UPDATE: See my last post.</p>
<p>@mnm111, standardized test scores tend to be ethnically-biased so high socioeconomic populations benefit whereas minorities, african-americans and hispanics, tend to perform less so. That is why many prestigious schools will admit minorities, barring asians, with lower-than-averages scores.</p>
<p>Umm, @rorochi, you had forgotten to mention that you had a 3.3 unweighted GPA in this post. That is definately relevant to determining whether or not you have a chance at Miami. I am sorry to say that it is very unlikely, I am sorry again.</p>
<p>Back in July your ACT was 29. In August it was 30. Now your ACT is 26.</p>
<p>My best advice is to find out your actual ACT score.</p>
