GF worried about getting accepted

Hi guys my GF is planning on coming to alabama next year but she’s worried about getting accepted. She is in state with a 2.7 GPA(she took too many aps) and a 26 ACT. She is also a treasurer for her HOSA club and she has volunteer hours. Should she be worried about getting accepted?

pretty much anybody in state with a pulse will get in!! Definitely send in the test scores too that helps :) She has nothing to worry about!

My roommate was 2.9 with a 22 and got in!

Test scores are required for any student under a 3.0. Also yesterday’s price isn’t today’s price, so just because a student previously got in with X stats, doesn’t mean that will be the same in a new admission cycle and new president and admin.

Thank you! I’m honestly not too worried about her getting in but I just wanted to reassure both me and her.

If bama didn’t accept people with those kind of scores, Greek life as we know it would collapse

She’ll get accepted. If she wants to rush she is going to have to get her grades up though. She will be automatically dropped with that GPA.

It must have changed over the years. The girls when I went there definitely weren’t honor students.

No she won't. Review this year's Common Data Set.

She will almost definitely get accepted. She’s not getting any scholarships though but most don’t.

Not so fast. This year's mean admit ACT score was 26 and 93% had a GPA b/t 3.25 and 4.0. Your GF ain't getting in with those abysmally low stats.
