<p>Thank you for the input! I’m literally losing sleep thinking about the dang application. </p>

<p>Yeah, I had a 25 Composite the first time I took my ACT and Minnesota waived my application fee and really seemed interested. For you. Great GPA, Good scores, Outstanding ECs and a family legacy? I’d say you’re in for sure.</p>

<p>Thank you for your input it helps a ton!!</p>

<p>I recently go in with the following stats:
GPA: 3.43
QPA: 4.931</p>

<h1>AP Classes: 10</h1>

<p>SAT Math: 750
SAT Reading: 620
SAT Writing: 680
Class Rank: 14/251
Location: Maryland</p>

<p>Although your ACT is relatively low, your GPA KILLS mine, so you should definitely be fine. It also helps that you’re in-state… good luck! :)</p>

<p>Wow you have a ton of AP classes!! My school only offers four of them:/ The reason my ACT is low is because my English subscore was a 21. I got a 26 Math, 29 Reading and a 29 Science. Are you currently enrolled in the College of Biological Sciences? @Spongerman‌ </p>

<p>You will most likely be admitted. Match/Safety</p>

<p>I’m actually not, I just sent my application in last month and recently heard back. Regardless, you should definitely be fine - it seems like it’s a safe school for you</p>

10

<p>Yep. That’s a safety/low low match for you :slight_smile: Good Luck! Thanks for chancing me!</p>

11

<p>You will have no problem getting in! Congratulations :slight_smile: I am happy that you will be going to where you want! I hope everything works out for you</p>

12

<p>It’s a pretty safe bet</p>

13

<p>Nice extracurriculars. You have a pretty good, if not great chance of getting in. Good luck !</p>

14

<p>Youre going to get in</p>

15

<p>Safety and I’m willing to bet on Honors College invitation. Let us know how it turns out once you have the answer, that’s what matters most - so that other students can learn from your case!</p>

16

<p>I think your chances are solid. Your ACT score might not be a top notch score, your gpa is killer as well as your ec’s. I’d say you are basically locked in. Good luck!</p>

17

<p>Thanks for chancing me. I think youve got a great shot (>80%) of getting in. only thing that concerns me a little is the act, but i think youll be admitted regardless</p>

18

<p>99.99% you’re in.</p>

19

<p>You have great chances, I’d consider it a low match or even a safety. Your GPA is excellent for the school!</p>
