<p>^^ hey, fellow arkansan!</p>
<p>I think your chances are pretty good, given your SAT and ACT, and NM is always a plus on any college application</p>
<p>If you can get your GPA up to a 3.7 (or close) that would definitely be better, but a 3.6 is not bad (on the college scale, that’s still a solid A-, i believe [last time i checked, 3.5 was an A-, so a 3.6 should be around there too]); i think you’ll most-likely be able to get in</p>
<p>thanks! will they factor in that i took 11 ap’s in high school as well? and also, is it hard to receive financial aid? my family makes just enough money where it might be hard to receive financial aid, but not enough to pay full tuition (or anywhere near it). sorry to bother you with this.</p>
