Do you think I could be accepted?
I had really awful grades my first 3 years of high school because of an illness. I then transfered senior year to an online school (its accredited) and I have a 4.0 from this new school so far. When I apply, my GPA from the two schools combined will probably be between a 2.1 and a 2.4 depending on how many classes I can finish. I doubt I could finish enough classes in time to raise it any more than a 2.4.
-I’m an out of state student.
-I haven’t taken my ACT yet but on my practice test I got a 25 composite (33 English, 25 Science, 24 Reading, 18 Math).
-My essay is already finished and I think it’s really really good. It talks about why my grades were so horrible before and how the challenge has made me stronger.
-Extracurriculars include:
Tennis
Waterski team
Vocal jazz
Retail work
Secretary
Voice & piano lessons
Church mission trip
Participated in solo ensemble competitions
-Also took honors and AP classes
That is my alma mater and I loved it. The PRT, Towers, Marris’s country store. It’s awesome. You might have some trouble if you are out of state. This is from the admissions department website.

I would still give it a shot though. It is not a terribly competitive university.
