<p>My freshmen and sophomore year gpas were poor (2.7, and 2.9) but my junior year was a (3.9).
My ACT is a 27.</p>
<p>I’m hoping that these factors might make me a good candidate, I’ve had 47 hours of volunteering at a hospital as well. I have no idea what schools I should apply too, I know realistically I have no chance at something where you need a 3.8 to get in but are there any prestigious schools I’d have a chance at?</p>
<p>need more info; large v small, urban v rural v suburban, west, north, east, south? climate? AP’s? honors?</p>
<p>a 3.2 and a 27 will be fine for many, many places…</p>
<p>What is your cumulative and weighted GPA? Any hooks? I need those things we refer to as STATS.</p>
<p>I’d prefer…
a large school to a medium sized. (at least 2,000 people), urban or suburban.
Somewhere either in the West or the Northeast. </p>
<p>I just want somewhere that people will recognize the name when I say it. I know I can’t be too choosy with my stats but a good school is what I’m hoping to find. </p>
<p>3.2 cumulative gpa (we don’t do unweighted/weighted). I think my hook is that I turned around my grades for junior year and I know I have strong recs.</p>
<p>OU. Great school, will get you lots of jobs when you graduate. Great undergrad name, I’m sure you can get in! Good luck!</p>
<p>Check out your state school. I bet we all heard of it.</p>
<p>What do you want to study? What can your family pay per year?</p>
<p>I’ll check out OU! thanks!</p>
<p>I’m undecided about what I want to study, and as long as the tuition isn’t 40,000 per year it’s all doable.</p>
<p>Yeah, no problem!</p>
<p>They’re about 11,000 dollars out-of-state, less if you have any relatives that go there. It’s very cheap.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure why it’s so easy to get into–it’s a very good school with a good name, it’s getting better each year.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m not applying there because my dad lives about twenty minutes away, but I wish I could. A lot of people from my school in the top ten go there, so do people with 3.0 GPAs. It’s a large school, in a good town. Oklahoma as a whole isn’t the most fun state, but I’ve heard from many that the town is fun! </p>
<p>It’s like UT–same programs, just a little different. You can get a job most anywhere in the South, you have a lot of contacts.</p>
<p>The whole Red River Rivalry thing is fun, too. I live in Texas, OU vs UT? It’s one of the biggest football games of the year!</p>
<p>Michigan State</p>
<p>try Syracuse University or Fordham University. Both are very well-known in the Northeast. Also I wouldn’t cross a school off the list just because its tuition is high. A lot of those expensive schools give fantastic financial aid (where cheaper public schools can’t afford to give much aid…)</p>
