<p>I am a junior this year. I currently have a 3.2. I go to Centerville High School, which is near dayton OH. It is one of the top public High Schools in the state. I will be a 4x Varsity Letterman in wrestling, in a school of 2800, that doesn’t happen too often. I have not taken the ACT yet, but i have taken the “Pre-Act” (I think its called the PLAN?) and I got a 28. I have had a job all through HS (35 hours a wk during the summer, and 25 during the school year). I am president of the info tech program at my HS. I will be CISCO COMP TIA certified come March (given i pass the exam). I should have around 80 hours of community service when i apply. I am 50% Colombian. (My dad was born and raised in South America)</p>
<p>Do i have a shot? Or am i way out of line with my GPA?</p>
<p>You should be fine. How is the rigor of your courses (honors? APs? etc). A 28 is really good for MSU and it would offset your slightly below average GPA. If you can get your GPA just .1 or .2 points then you’re solidly matched. Your ECs are also very good. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I have taken all advanced or enriched courses throughout HS. Took AP US history, but only got a 2 on the exam.</p>
<p>Just work on getting your GPA up if you want an absolute safety. Also, apply early!</p>
<p>should i apply into Broad (i am thinking accounting/finance or management) or am i better of applying undeclared?</p>
<p>You can’t apply to broad until you have completed 56 credits, if I’m not mistaken. </p>
<p>There is some freshman program, but I don’t know anything about it.</p>
<p>You wouldn’t want to apply as undeclared, you would apply as a pre-business major and then once you get junior status (56 credits +) you will be able to apply directly into the Broad College of Business (you need a minimum of 3.1 GPA). </p>
<p>Your PLAN score is very good, you’d be on track to receive probably a 27-32 on your ACT so even if your GPA is lower you have a good chance of getting in.</p>
<p>There is a Broad Freshman program but entry into this is by invitation only and is quite selective (you probably would need a higher GPA for that).</p>
