<p>your gpa is on the low side for UP - what is the strength of your academic program? What level of math have you taken?</p>

3

<p>AP stats and AP calc are highest two.</p>

4

<p>would having the 17 honors/AP classes really help at all with my GPA or no? I also put UP as my only choice and would do summer session.</p>

5

<p>your act of 31 is high and combined with weighted GPA puts you in the possible zone for UP- though on the lower end of the yellow in the bubble chart- the rigor of your program is a factor for UP so its possible, you never know!</p>
