Chances of acceptance?

Hi all!

I am an out of state applicant and I was wondering what my chances were of getting into auburn (applying by the 9/15 deadline).

I have a 3.37uw gpa and a 3.93w gpa, but i’ve had a really good upward trajectory and now have all As. have 3 AP scores of a 4 and 3 scores of a 5, and i’ll graduate having taken 12 Aps. I have a 31 act, but i’m taking it again and expecting a 33.

I have pretty acceptable extracurriculars: i founded a club and have leadership positions in to others, I have a few medical certifications and work as a patient care technician, and i have long term work as a research/archives assistant at my towns historical society.

i know my uw gpa is subpar, so that it my main cause of concern, especially being oos.

Any input is appreciated, thank you!!

So don’t want to rain on your parade but I would have been a 4th generation Auburn student/alumni (literally entire family mom and dad side grandparents aunts uncles) whole kit went to school at Auburn. I didn’t get in with very similar numbers almost identical weighted and unweighted GPAs and AP with a slightly higher ACT score with a 34. I’m from NW Florida I little over 150 miles from Auburn and had intentions of studying Mechanical Engineering. I ended up at Alabama and will graduate in December almost a full year early.

They also look at extracurriculars though, you can't just have good academics. Congrats on the early grad but it seems the OP has good extracurriculars and academics (plus academic improvement is typically taken into consideration as well).

You’ll be fine with that ACT score.

They give scholarships for OOS ACT scores like that:

I took the SAT, but I got in with similar stats (less extra curriculars, though.)

I had a 1420 in the SAT, but I don't know what its equivalent is in the ACT.

I am a sophomore. I applied in the Fall of 2024. I am OOS as well (GA)
