<p>Try to bring your ACT score up or take the SAT which may yield a better score. What specific classes and levels have you taken? Try visiting while school is in session to get a feel for what the campus will be like when its full of students.</p>
<p>This year’s stats aren’t out yet but here’s something from '09-'10.</p>

<p>In short, your ACT is 25th%-tile and your GPA is 50th%-tile of enrollees. As surferbeach suggested, get that ACT up a couple of points and I think your chances will improve dramatically - right now I’d categorize your chances as average at best.</p>
<p>FWIW, (given your screen name), during the presentation by the Marshall Business Asst. Dean she was adamant that Marshall was not tougher to get into than the “regular” college.</p>
