If you have a 3Dec 18 2008Other
If you have a 3.5 and 1800+ you're set, but realistically you have a good shot as long as you keep up solid grades and get above a 1700 or 24 act.
Apply early in the year, especially if you want to go to a residential college as they're first come first serve, with no separate admissions requirements.
ACT: 32 Male

I got good grades in high school and did good on my ACT.
ACT: 29 Female
If you have a high gpa (3May 07 2008Computer Science
If you have a high gpa (3.8ish) and a low ACT score (21) then you will get in. I know people who have gotten in with a 3.3, but then again I also know people who didn't with a 3.2, so it depends. For me I had a 3.8 and a 29 ACT score. This got me in, but I just missed the honors college. If you have a 3.8 and a 31 ACT or a 4.0 and a 30 ACT you will probably get into the honors college. The average is a 3.5ish and a 24 ACT or something like that.
ACT: 29 Female
I had a 25Jan 04 2008Undecided
I had a 25 ACT and a 3.75 GPA
I think your safe with a ACT 22-23, and a gpa of 3.2

But, even if you are at average or below, call the university and let your voice be heard if you really wanna get in. They like those who are assertive.
ACT: 25 Male
