Resolved Question: Will I be accepted to the University of Kansas?

27 January 2012, 1:10 am

To be honest, I didn't do extremely well in High School and I regret it everyday. I did not take the SAT/ACT and my overall grade point average was 2.5. I graduated in June, 2011 and I'm attending a community college this spring but won't have enough transfer credits by this fall (I would love to be able to start this fall at KU). I was wondering if there is any chance I could still be admitted to the University of Kansas? Although I had an overall average of 2.5, they weren't the toughest classes. I did get a couple D's in high school also. On the brighter side I would be majoring in Music. I have taken choir all four years of high school, and I was apart of the Choir Club too. I also joined the Animal Rights Club my Junior year along with Foreign Film Club. I got straight A's in choir plus I did two years in dance with excellent grades. In school, I won "Most Likely To Win American Idol" and I study opera and classical piano. One of my biggest hobbies is photography, and I am willing to bet I can take some of the best pictures you have ever seen from anyone my age. As you can see, I'm very involved with the Arts and was wondering since I'm majoring in the Arts, if it would help increase my chances of getting accepted. My high school, is the top school in California. I love the outdoors and I want to experience a new world outside my original state. I am willing to work hard for what I want, and I now know this because I watched all my friends go off to college and leave me here alone in this same town I've been my whole life. I'm ready to exceed and push for what I want, and this university stands out to me unlike any other because of how beautiful it is. Please help me with tips and guidelines. I want to be accepted, but afraid I don't have enough high-quality test scores and grades. Though I don't have outstanding academics, I know I'll bring something artistic and different to Kansas. A new perspective from a girl who was raised in the big city of Los Angeles. I'm willing to still take the SAT or ACT if it's REQUIRED to even be accepted in the first place. And I'm willing to send letter of recommendations from my high school counselor and teachers. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I hope to here back with advice. I would also like to add that KU has a 93% acceptance rate, and also on there website it says you must have one of these: ACT score of 24 or higher or an SAT score of 1090 or higher, OR rank in the top one-third of your high school class, OR 2.5 GPA or higher And I do meet the 2.5 GPA...
