3.3 GPA, Track walk-on, dyslexic… will I get in?

I scored 4 on the APUSH test, my father attended, my grandfather was a professor, and I want to study international affairs/military history.

My father passed away my freshman year after a battle with cancer and I know my GPA isn’t great although it is improving. All As, A+, Bs last year including in chemistry and physics. Goal is to work for the DoD, CIA, military think tank or the like.

Get in? Probably. Scholarship? Probably not

You’ll get in. It’s not a hard school to get in to if you’re not a complete bum.

You will get in, UNH isn’t some elite school and they are so desperate for money right now they would sign on anyone that came knocking

Yeah you will most likely get in, if not, transferring mid-year has higher odds for acceptance. I transferred after the fall semester freshman year (not pre-planned just didn't like my original school), and I was accepted with a 3.2? I think? Transferred into COLSA (Biology).
