ILLINOIS COLLEGES!!!!!!!!!!!!?
okay, the last two years, my grades have been pretty good but right now, I have a cumulative GPA of about 2.75 and a 20 on my ACT. I am retaking my ACT in october and am looking at around a 24. I am looking at majoring in music. I am in symphonic band for four years, marching band for four, McHenry County Honor Band for two, Marching band leadership team, and an active Tri-M music honor society member. I also play Varisty badminton for three years. What are my chances, mainly as far as GPA and ACT, on admission into Illinois state university, Southern illinois university carbondale, Eastern Illinois university, or Western Illinois University..
..and which ones have the best music program. I am familiar with ISU’s music program, but less so with the others.
please and thanks!
Your ACT score fit the admissions standards for all the given universities except Illinois State University. http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1556&profileId=6
99% of Incoming freshmen who were accept to Eastern Illinois University had ACT Composite scores of 19 – 24. 99% of incoming Western Illinois University freshmen had ACT Composite from 18 – 22. 62% of Southern Illinois University Carbondale students had an ACT Composite from 19 – 24. ACT Composite: 100% of the Illinois State University incoming freshmen had ACT COmposite scores from 22 – 26. You should retake the ACT if you want to get into the music program from ISU. You should shoot your GPA up to at least 3.0 cumulative. I don’t think class ranks for these colleges matter. Do students activities.
I’m sorry, but I know anything about any of their music programs.
I have to go to a college in Georgia. Any suggestions with my GPA/SAT scores?
I will end up with a 3.5 GPA at the end of my junior year and my SAT scores were 1650 out of 2400. I feel like I wouldn’t be able to get into Georgia Tech or The University of Georgia, but i feel like im too smart for somewhere like Georgia Southern or Valdosta. What do you think? The only extra curricular activity I did was Marching Band.
You need to retake the SAT until you get a better score. Consider an SAT Prep Course.
Some universities will allow a mixed SAT score where they take your highest scores from different testing dates. You might want to calculate your highest scores and check to see if one of the universities uses mixed SAT scores.
