<p>@class0f15 Your GPA is right at the admission average while your ACT is below the 25%. You should retake ACT for a better chance. It is a low reach for you.</p>
<p>@Daxster96 Your SAT is too low. Try to bring it up at least 200+ points for a better chance. Your uwGPA is too low too (with several B’s and a C would likely make it below 3.5). LSA would be a reach and Ross would be a high reach.</p>

<p>@Tman1005
Depending on just how good your ECs are, I’d say you’re a match. Since you’re out of state, the essays probably have the potential to swing your admissions decision one way or the other… So my advice to you would be to focus on that.</p>
<p>@sourbull1357 Your GPA is too low while your ACT is at the 25th percentile. It would be a reach for you.</p>
<p>@Fri612 It is hard to chance you as it depends on how the adcom perceive your very low GPA with your explanation. Also you course rigor is not high until senior.</p>
