You have a very good chance.

Wow, thanks ThePhilosopher. I wasn't sure if UConn was much more selective with their OOS students or not.

ThePhilosopher

They are, but your GPA is good WITH some challenging classes. Your ACT is average, but again, I think you make up for it. As long as you write a good personal essay, you have a good chance.

Has UConn posted up their application for the Fall 2009 yet ?

Is your GPA on a 4 point scale or 5?

ThePhilosopher

Yes, applications are now available.

zgoldsmith23

My school does GPA on a 4.0 scale.

Thanks to budget problems, I wouldn't be surprised if this year's class has more OOS students than previous classes. I'm curious to see what the numbers will be when they are released after this year's admission cycle.

^ The University, believe it or not, loses money for accepting out-of-state students. The reason for this is because the State reimburses the University per in-state student. Numbers should be about the same.
