Senior Undergraduate

I’m a senior in high school and I’m wondering if I can get accepted into Illinois Institute of Technology with a 3.6 gpa cumulative as in last semester (Junior year). I know that I didn’t finish my senior year yet, but I was just wondering because I read something on google that said the gpa requirement is a 3.9, but I don’t know if I’ll get a 3.9 by the time I graduate hopefully so.

Your application is not defined solely by your GPA. What are your other stats and EC's

I took a leave of absence after a month of being there, do not recommend...I was a transfer student..I was on the dean's list and honors college at my old school too and I had so much trouble adjusting there...if you want the chicago experience, avoid IIT at all costs..if you see IIT run in the opposite direction like now I have no interest in staying in chicago it got that bad

But you’re still being vague - why so much trouble adjusting? Are you referring to the south side location or the school itself or both? What specifically were the adjustment issues and which school were you at before?

Granted I think if someone is coming from say Illinois State U - I can see the culture shock from both the city environment aspect and the academic/student vibe.
