Hi! I am a senior who has received very good offers from some of my top schools including Minnesota and Texas A&M, but they only stand if I get national merit finalist, which I keep worrying I will not get :neutral:
Can someone please let me know if you think I can get in with these stats:
36 ACT/1560 SAT (I am not worried about these test scores, although I am lowkey nervous that they will be annoyed because I accidentally sent them all my SAT scores including a 1470 and 4 subject tests, do you think this mistake will affect me?)
3.90 gpa out of 4.33 max. Kinda worried about this. I mostly got A minuses with 4 semesters of B pluses in high school. Is this enough for finalist standing?
Also my essay was not very good. It was rushed and a little short. It was about how I had encountered an obstacle and failed at something but didn’t give up and trained hard to come back to it and succeed the next go-around, but it was also about a pretty inconsequential thing so there’s that.
Anyways if you could give your opinion on if you think I can make it it would be much appreciated!
You would love the University of Minnesota, definitely a Big Campus feel in the metroplex. Proud graduate of the Class of 84. #SkiUMah . Great programs and lots to get involved in. Beautiful campus as well .
