Can I get into the University of Dayton?

Hi ! I was wondering if I could get in into the University of Dayton. I loved the university and want to go there. I'am from Puerto Rico and study in the best private school in the island with a full scholarship because of my grades and financial needs during elementary school. I have a 3.20 GPA with a 1400 SAT and 21 ACT. Have participated like in 4 or 5 clubs, and currently I'm the president of the Forensic Club. Also I have about 100 hours of community service. I want to major in biology and currently I'm taking Biology AP, and will pass the class with an A. Is the only advance class I have take.

What are my possibilities?

UD's average range for ACT scores is about 25 to 27, so bringing that score up would improve your chances. Your gpa is also a bit low, but if you can explain to them in your application how you make up for it in other areas, then it shouldn't hurt you too much.

Good Luck!

sadly the deadline pass :/ but would the extracurricular activities, community service and biology AP reward ? I also participate in a Pre- College research symposium 2 semester all Saturdays.
