<p>GPA: 3.5-3.6 unweighted, 3.6-3.65 weighted
Course load: 4 Honors Classes, 5 AP classes, 3 AP self-study tests
Rigorous college prep school</p>

<p>ACT: Currently 26 composite (weak math, high English/Reading), but I’m retaking it and shooting for 28 at least (that’s what my practice tests reflect). I might be able to get a 30 or 31, depending if I bring my A game.</p>

<p>Average-Good extracurriculars.
Good recommendations.</p>

<p>No one from my name (Nebraska) applied last year, or has applied in recent years as far as I know.</p>

<p>26 is very low. which faculty are you applying to?</p>

<p>Update - my ACT score is a 30. Does this change my chances?</p>

<p>I’ll be applying to commerce/business.</p>

<p>with a 30, I’d say you’re chances are good. It’ll all come down to your specific course grades. For example, I applied to the engineering faculty, so they looked specifically at my math and sciences grades. They usually expect A- averages, but I don’t know for sure. </p>

<p>For physics I had a B one semester and an A the next, versus my other courses which were all A’s or A-'s.</p>
