<p>Hi, I'm wondering whether or not I'd get in with what I've got. I know that most of you on here are applying to Ivies and whatnot so please remember that I'm just applying to a state school :)</p>

<p>• 4.1 weighted GPA (3.83 from freshman/sophomore and 4.7 junior year so a massive jump there, hopefully admissions people will like to see that)
• Took ACT once so far and got a 32, am taking it again in January for mandatory state test so I could get better
• Didn't take SAT or SAT II and don't plan on it
• I have so few extracurricular activities that would look good on a college application it is almost humorous. All I've got going for me is a job I've had for all four years of high school (which made it impossible to do any organized sports). The lack of clubs, organizations, and volunteer hours is my fault but it's too late to rectify now.</p>

<p>Also, I live in Illinois currently so I will be applying from out of state. I am still not entirely decided on my major (though I probably will declare a major by the time I get around to actually applying), but I'm certain it will be within the College of Liberal Arts if that is a deciding factor at all.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help :)</p>

<p>Your ACT score is above their 75% and the GPA is great. Out of state isn't unusually competitive for the school: 30% are out of state.
That said, you're in.</p>

<p>yep, you're in. They actively recruit outstaters too.</p>

<p>Yeah, as a Minnesotan who's very familiar with UofM-TC, I say you're in. OOS helps, I think.</p>
