I have a 4.04 weighted GPA, taken 8 AP classes, mostly honors/AP courses, but no extracurriculars because of my super strict parents. My ACT scores are 27 composite, with 31 English, 30 reading, 24 math, and 23 science, but I鈥檓 working to improve them. I really want to get into LSU or the University of Arkansas, but I鈥檓 worried my lack of extracurriculars might hurt my chances鈥攅ven though I got into Louisiana Tech with a scholarship. I鈥檓 also unsure about going to Tech since it鈥檚 so close to home and I want a fuller college experience. How important are extracurriculars and ACT scores for LSU and UARK? Also, do you have recommendations for any other colleges I should consider applying to?
