What are my chances of getting into the University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Applying to College Admission Stories
1

This is my #1 school for several reasons

(I am new to this forum, btw)
Currently a Junior, but expecting to graduate with:

GPA: 3.65

ACT:25-29

Expected Honors Classes (through Senior year): Enriched Biology and Enriched Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Comparitive Politics, French 5 and MAYBE french 6 (I already speak arabic fluently so idk), AP statistics, Advanced English 11 and possibly AP microeconomics

Extra Currics.- Tennis since Sophomore, In-house/City basketball since freshman year, I
volunteered 25 hours sophomore year, planning on 100 this year and next year or more depending on you recommendations. I volunteered at the Library and various carnivals, and I have recently gotten a regular volunteering spot at a animal hospital.
Science Club
Filmakers Club

What else should I let you guys know (other than my social security and credit card #s lol)

Edit: I am going to apply to the college of Biological Sciences, and I am the first generation to go to college IN THE U.S.

Thank you, and please don’t just view the post but reply to it.

I can’t imagine you <em>wouldn’t</em> get in to UM-Twin Cities. Not to sound facetious at all, but my son and his friends in Madison, WI joke that “if you don’t get into UW-Madison I’m sure you’d be accepted at Minnesota!” Alas, it is true: it’s much more difficult to get into UW-Madison than UM. However, that is not to say that Minnesota isn’t a good school because most certainly it is. There football team, on the other hand…

Best wishes and may God bless you with a clear and right decision.

Thanks RickUW, and I do agree with Wisconsin being harder to get into, but I don’t know how great you sons are doing in school. Also, the gophers football team really isn’t that fantastic.
Speaking of “Facetious” did you know it is the only word in the english language that has all of the vowels in order? fAcEtIOUslY :smiley:
