Please help with chances. I think I'm a bit unusual in that scores are high bout GPA is low</p>
<p>Your ACT is really outstanding and your gpa isn’t THAT low; your weighted is actually pretty good. But why isn’t your gpa as good as your ACT and do you have an upwards trend? If you can make sure to explain this all in your essays. As long as you make sure to write fantastic essays, I’d say you have a pretty good chance at most of them!</p>
<p>Unfortunately my grades have been fairly consistent all the way through. Not sure why there’s such a discrepancy. Of course now I regret not working harder. My school is quite competitive although this isn’t an Excuse.</p>
