<p>It doesn’t say whether you are in-state or OOS or whether the GPA is weighted or unweighted. Most important thing is to the keep the GPA up and to take classes that are the most rigorous classes you will do well in. After that, the ACT score needs to come up. If you are admitted with a 24 it will be in spite of the score rather than because of it.</p>
