<p>Hey there whoever is looking at this thread! I just wanted to know if you could give me some insight on my chances to U of Minnesota-Twin Cities :)</p>

<p>Fun(maybe not)/Quick(I type alot so maybe not!) Facts about me! :stuck_out_tongue:
-ACT: 29(plan to take again in a few weeks)
-GPA: 93.66(my HS uses percentages)
-Rank: we donā€™t rank, but my HS counselor said if we did, I would be placed in the top 50% (darn)

  • numerous college/AP/honors courses- we donā€™t get letter grades but percentages, all of them are in the 90-100% range. AP tests: 3-5s
    -Vietnamese
    -played basketball all four years(JEREMY LIN lol, and I know the season hasnā€™t started yet, but I would hope that I would make the team again after playing for varsity my sophomore & junior year lol)
  • volunteering at shelters, hospitals, and school events which equates to 400+ hours
    -planned/interested major(s): psychology, sociology, architecture(there are some others, but those are the major ones). </p>

<p>Thatā€™s the gist of my highschool career!</p>

<p>You will never know until you apply. Minnesota was one of the easiest applications that my daughter had to fill out. She didnā€™t need letters of recommendation, and she didnā€™t have to write any essays. I am surprised that with a 93.66 GPA that you would only be in the top 50%. You must go to a very competitive high school. I am not familiar with that type of GPA, but if it is an ā€œAā€ average, I would think you would be much higher than the top 50% of your class. I think it also bodes well for you that you received Aā€™s in honors/AP/college classes. Your AP scores seem very good as well. I would apply as early as you can. Good luck!</p>
