<p>Increase your ACT & GPA, they are on the low side… Are you a PG? If not, you might want to consider the PG year if you can’t get the GPA and ACT up this year. </p>

<p>If you push an ACT of 30 and GPA of 3.3 you might have a chance but considering what UCONN has pulled in for kids over the past three years it will be a close call. You’re not out but it will be an uphill battle. If your parents are in such a way that they will pay the full 4 years it will help. You really need to push up the GPA and ACT. </p>

<p>Good luck…</p>

<p>I agree with the post above… Also you are applying as OOS so the competition will be higher for a spot. If you can increase your SAT and GPA probably a 60/40 split </p>
