are you applying as transfer/freshman?
GPA is for 1 semester..weighted is avg all of your GPAs. College GPA is one that you get when you're in college.
uconn is a very decent school, but i think youll hv a chance.. if you want, try state univs. waterbury conn state uni has finance major too i guess.
write a good essay explaining why you (25) was to go to college as an adult learner.
