Yes, but he is dragged down by the 2.7 freshman. Many schools discount freshman year especially in a file like his I would think…and the grades are rising. SATs and Subjects are solid. APs he has a lot and good scores. I think he has a shot but if its reported as a 2.7 it might be a problem as it will muff up your academic index-but never say never, a good adcoms person knowing should look more closely and calculate the AI dropping your freshman year, look at the APs scholar (makes up for 9th grade), NMSemifinalist I think if they give it a fair read you still have a good chance. The 36 ACT might be what saves you as the avg. is 33. As long as your scores are rising to 4.0-last does your HS rank? That will be important…your gpa will not help rank if they do but I also do not get why you say its less than about 3.5 (still low) but 2.9, 3.7, 4.0 is 3.55 rounds to 3.6 that sounds a lot better that what you said. They may defer you just to see how you do senior year but I doubt you will get out out reject.
